A lot of injuries, but "medical staff didn't make a mistake"

INJURIES A lot of injuries these days in Anderlecht. After Trebel, Kompaore also followed. But according to coach Vercauteren, it is by no means the fault of the medical staff. Does pharmacist Coucke bring healing medicine to the team?


A few days ago was announced that Adrien Trebel - just restored to honor under Frank Vercauteren - will be on the sidelines for a few weeks. He has undergone surgery on the meniscus of his "good" knee. Frank Vercauteren hopes to recover him after the international break (November 11, 19, ed.), As it was a minor intervention.

Anderlecht will not be able to count on 9 other players tonight during the match against AA Gent, including key pawns such as Chadli, Nasri and Kompany. "Kompany is an open issue. We must not make hasty decisions. After all, nobody knows Kompany's body better than himself."

The long injury list, which increases every week, raises questions among the supporters about the medical staff. Because of savings, many experienced pawns left this summer and traded in for cheaper workers. But the question is whether they offer enough quality.

Vercauteren holds his hand above the team of Kristof Sas, who is assisted by Lieven Maesschalck. "It is a shared responsibility of different departments. We must question ourselves in order to improve ourselves over time."

The board does not want to respond to these rumors of a lesser or poor functioning of the medical cell, but there too people know that the injuries are a logical consequence of these replacements. Only the muscle tear of Nasri was an estimation error. Despite the fact that the experienced player indicated internally that he felt muscle stiffness, he was nevertheless put in the starting eleven in the next match.
