Vertonghen not yet ready to play

INJURIES Tomorrow only a practice match is scheduled against Libyan champion Al Ahli (3 p.m.). In that, Lissens and N'Diaye will already not be able to play. Next Wednesday Anderlecht will play Union for the cup. Anderlecht will not be able to count on Jan Vertonghen or Thomas Delaney. Anderlecht hopes to get them ready to play before the first league game of 2024 at OHL.

The question, of course, is who will replace Vertonghen. Delaney acted as a stopgap at the back and with Sardella also out longer, options are becoming very scarce. For example, at training camp Leoni and Augustinsson were played out at center back as a test. Or will a player from Futures get his chance? The logical options are Lissens and Lapage, but the question is whether Lissens himself is ready to play given his forfeit for tomorrow.
