"Hopefully after Zulte light all the way to green for Yari"

INJURIES - INTERVIEWS It will be a night that all of Anderlecht is looking forward to Saturday: the return of Yari Verschaeren to the RSCA Futures. At his press conference, Brian Riemer praised the medical staff and Verschaeren for their work over the past few months. "Yari's rehabilitation was a straight line forward. He didn't have any relapses."

"This is the last box to check off," Riemer said. "I had a long talk with him about how he feels. As a coach, you look at him and think 'he seems ready for me,' but when you've been out this long, there's also the mental aspect you have to take into account. Hopefully after this weekend the light will go fully green."

"The whole medical staff has done a wonderful job with Yari. And Yari himself too, of course. His rehabilitation was one straight line forward, with no relapses. He also passed all the mental barriers smoothly. As soon as he came back to us, you saw him go all-in with his tackles, slidings, ... I am really amazed that it went so fast. And safe. Without any risks."
