Vertonghen has resumed training sessions

OTHER Jan Vertonghen resumed his training sessions with the ball this Tuesday. According to press reports, his Achilles tendons and ankles are responding well, opening the possibility that he could be included in the selection for the final of the Cup of Belgium. However, it is unlikely that he will play effectively. A brief substitution might be possible. In addition, it is very likely that some regular base players will be rested in the match against Antwerp, given the short recovery period of only two days before the final.


The media are speculating especially about Thorgan Hazard, who may start on the bench. Still, Antwerp is certainly not to be lost. With games against Union, Genk and Bruges, Anderlecht has a very tough schedule ahead of them and they absolutely must not throw their fourth place to the wind.
