Arnesen: "Bolasie is match fit"

INTERVIEWS Neil Moxley, an English football journalist and club watcher from Aston Villa, questions the fitness of Yannick Bolasie. The Congolese had a serious knee injury at the end of 2016 and Moxley questions whether Bolasie has fully recovered from it. Frank Arnesen says that Bolasie is ready to play.


"I honestly never had the idea that he was completely recovered from that knee injury," said Moxley, "Aston Villa's trainer told Bolasie that he expected more from him, which did not turn out well and the loan was stopped ". As a result, RSC Anderlecht could still get him on the last day of the winter march.

Frank Arnesen says that there are no questions about the fitness of Bolasie and that he is ready to play. "Against Standard he fell in a few minutes before the end of the game. He had not really had any preparation yet, but he is ready to help the team and he is already doing it in the dressing room".

Next Sunday, Bolasie will probably start at Anderlecht for the first time. His competitor on the wing, Zakaria Bakkali, is suspended.
