Another positive for the Brussels club: Ali Maamar took another step forward with Morocco by starting for the first time in the win over Gabon in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. Thelo Aasgaard also featured in Norway's matches and came on as a substitute three times. Among the most heavily used internationals is Oleg Reabciuk, who clocked up 345 minutes.
