OTHER Almost ten months after his last minutes on the pitch, Alexis Flips made his comeback this week with the Futures. In an emotional Instagram post he reflects on this difficult period. "Finally I'm back to give the best of myself again." He had not played since May last year. A plantar injury just would not go away.
Read Flips' message: Ten months. Ten months since my last match. Ten months of doubt. Ten months of lost confidence. Ten months of hard work. Ten months away from my passion. The past months were the hardest of my life. But I'm finally back, finally back in a stadium, finally back with my teammates, finally back in the dream I've always wanted. Thank you to my wife Zélie, my children, my family and friends for being there for me during this period! In this time you see who is there and who isn't. In this time you see that the world isn't all roses and sunshine, and I missed it so much! Thanks to Anderlecht for the support from start to finish. Thanks to the staff of the Futures: Jelle, Kudi, Marvin, Yannick, Tijl, Davy, Alain, Dany, Tina! Thank you to my physiotherapists who tried every possible method to heal me: Roy Engelen, Dries Jacobs, Quentin Gil, Charles Mayot and Move to Cure. I'm surely forgetting a few. In any case, thanks to everyone for the support during those tough months — I'm finally back to give the best of myself!
