INJURIES Ludwig Augustinsson had to leave the field early on Thursday with an injury. Further examination revealed that it was a calf injury. According to Anderlecht's website, the Swedish left back is not expected to return until after the winter break. This means that in the space of a week, the Purple & White have lost a second regular defender for an extended period.
Things had been going well for a while in terms of injuries, but with Huerta, Kana, and Augustinsson, the infirmary is slowly filling up again. The options at the back are also becoming limited, especially when Camara leaves for the Africa Cup of Nations on December 15. After all, Anderlecht still has four games to play in December, four important games in which it must try to maintain its connection with the top two.
This is a setback for the Purple & White, who had found the necessary stability in defense. It is now up to the substitutes to prove themselves and perform at least as well.
