OTHER After the training camp in the Netherlands, Vincent Kompany has slimmed down his selection somewhat. Of the 37 players who were there in Alkmaar, nine youngsters return to the U21. Nayel Mehssatou is not among them. The 18-year-old right back may (for the time being) remain with the A-team.


Just like Mehssatou, Zeno Debast, Kristian Arnstadt and Mario Stroeykens also keep their place in the first team. That is less surprising for them: last season all three made their debut for the first team.

Nine youngsters will now have to train with the U21 again. The most notable name among them is Lucas Lissens. He was allowed to start a few times last season, but Zeno Debast has now passed him in the pecking order and the arrival of Wesley Hoedt and Taylor Harwood-Bellis is not good news for him either.

In addition to Lissens, Enock Agyei, Mohammed Bouchouari, Nils De Wilde, Alonzo Engwanda, Theo Leoni, Chris Lokesa, Lucas Stassin and Rik Vercauteren will return to the U21.
