New players not yet in the Europa League

OTHER For Anderlecht, it may be a bit of a puzzle in the Europa League, especially in defense. After all, new players may only come into action after the group stage and a maximum of three new players may be added to the European list.


This does mean that, for example, Huerta, who is on his way to Belgium, can only play in the Europa League after the group stage. So the final games at Viktoria Plzen and at home against Hoffenheim this month will have to be handled with the available players from the current core. Especially at the back, that will lead to puzzling as Zanka is set to leave.

In the possible intermediate round, which Anderlecht will obviously try to avoid, new players may already participate.

Another problem is that three new players may be added to the European list. That seems a lot, but if players would also leave (think of Kikkenborg for example), you can get to that number. Thus, if Purple White were to attract more than three players, it will not be able to field one or more players in Europe this season.
