INTERVIEWS Good news from the sickbay. Adriano Bertaccini has fully recovered from his knee injury and is ready to play again. Coach Besnik Hasi confirmed this during his press conference. Mario Stroeykens may also return from injury. The only question mark for Sunday: César Huerta.
"Bertaccini has trained fully with the group all week," said Hasi. "He will be in the squad. The full match isn't possible yet, because he was out for eight weeks. Playing on artificial turf in Sint-Truiden isn't a problem for him. He played there for almost two years (one and a half, ed.). Today we also trained on artificial turf. All of them."

According to Hasi, Killian Sardella and Ilay Camara are completely ready for Sunday. "Sardella already played most of a match before the international break. Camara played some minutes with the national team. He's returned well. He trained yesterday and today. He's ready."
"Seeing how fit the internationals are"
The international football of the past week didn't result in any injuries. "All the internationals have returned well," Hasi said. "Saliba was a bit sore, but everything is fine now. Angulo trained again today. Huerta hasn't yet. He only arrived today and was also a bit sore, but he had that before he left as well."
Guys like Saliba, Angulo, and Herta have had long flights. How is their fatigue level as a result? "It's good that we're only playing on Sunday. Tomorrow we'll see how they react and who's fit."
