'Vertonghen out for a month'

INJURIES Jan Vertonghen suffered a new injury during training, twisting his ankle. The severity of this new injury has not yet been fully determined, but the initial prognosis is positive. It seems that his recovery will be similar to that of Killian Sardella, who recently suffered an ankle injury. La Libre Belgique reported this morning.

Nevertheless, Vertonghen's recovery is likely to be slightly longer, given his older age and previous injuries. He is currently expected to be unavailable for one month.

The length of his absence is not expected to affect the club's transfer plans. Anderlecht's sporting director, Olivier Renard, must act quickly anyway to attract a new, fast left-footed defender, especially with Zanka possibly leaving for Los Angeles.
