Vlap was missing due to injury

INJURIES None Michel Vlap yesterday against Mouscron. "Vlap was slightly injured", Vincent Kompany stated afterwards at the press conference. "He sustained a slight strain against STVV. He therefore did not a have normal week."

"We have other players who are 100% fit, so we chose to be careful with him.That makes sense," said Kompany.

To replace the injured Vlap, Kompany chose Zulj and not Verschaeren. Why that choice? "Peter provides stability, but also has presence. His depth balls are undervalued. With Murillo and Mikhaylichenko we have offensive backs. The Zulj provides balance."
