Lissens out for months with knee injury

INJURIES Bad luck for Lucas Lissens. The promising central defender injured his knee at training on Friday. Research has now shown that it is serious. Purple-White reports that the defender cannot play for several months.


The 20-year-old Lissens played two league matches and two cup matches last season. Due to the arrival of Hoedt, Harwood-Bellis and Magallan, he did not yet make it to the match sheet this season. Anderlecht does count on him for the future. He is also a fixed value in the selection of national U21 coach Jacky Mathijssen.

Lissens is the second central defender who is out for a long time. Hannes Delcroix is already two months on the side. He also has an injury to the knee.
