Anderlecht slipped considerably with a sour 2-3 defeat against Dender. It started very weak and was soon behind. Purple-White got better into the game and after half an hour it had scored twice itself through Verschaeren and Dreyer. But after halftime Anderlecht, with a substituted Hazard, dropped away completely and Dender punished the lax and too self-confident attitude of Purple-White in the closing stages. Anderlecht only had a few chances after that, but they could not avoid the painful defeat. Purple-White urgently needs to recover in January. Read more »
In Jan Vertonghen's absence, Leander Dendoncker got the captain's armband around his arm several times immediately after his return. Meanwhile, it has been since late October. In Het Laatste Nieuws today, coach David Hubert says it was a conscious decision to stop making Dendoncker captain (for now?). Read more »
Thorgan was present in the stands during the match against Genk, but RSC Anderlecht's medical staff decided he could not play. The team judged that this match was not suitable for his return. However, for the final match of the calendar year against Dender, Thorgan is expected to be back in the squad. Anders Dreyer is also expected to make his return to the squad for this occasion. Read more »
Maybe we will see Thorgan Hazard in action before the winter break. There is a chance he could be in the squad against Dender on Friday. Wait and see if he will effectively make minutes. Especially coach David Hubert is still in doubt, he does not want to rush anything. Read more »
RSCA Futsal suffered a sour loss of points. Purple-White had been too strong for the Belgian competition for over two years, but that long series has thus come to an end with a 3-3 draw against Hasselt. Read more »
Coach David Hubert will be able to count on Zanka as well as Tristan Degreef against Genk. For Killian Sardella and Thorgan Hazard, the match comes just a little too early. Hopeful news is that Jan Vertonghen is training again. Read more »
Certain newspapers are reporting that Killian Sardella is still not able to train full time with the group after all. The defender is said to be still suffering from some discomfort which makes his appearance against Racing Genk very doubtful. He will probably not even be included in the squad and his return to action will be delayed for a week. Read more »
Killian Sardella was very close to making his return to the team in the match against Sint-Truiden, but that game came too soon for RSCA's right back. According to the press, he should make his return against Genk.

Kasper Dolberg has understood his responsibilities within Anderlecht's team, according to Nicolas Frutos. In addition to his technical skills, the striker has now developed a positive mindset, thanks in part to the guidance of David Hubert. Under Brian Riemer's previous policy, Dolberg had to put a lot of energy into secondary tasks, such as dropping back into the game and filling spaces on the sides. This led to a less efficient use of his qualities.

Yari Verschaeren was able to come in after his injury sustained against Slavia, although it was with an injection. For the match at Genk, he is expected in the starting line-up as usual. Samuel Edozie also made his comeback and is thus also available for the topper. And coach Hubert can hope for two more names: Tristan Degreef and Killian Sardella. Read more »
Anderlecht returned from St-Truiden with a 0-2 win. Purple and white didn't play great, but it had enough of Dolberg's strikers to settle the score in their favor tonight. The Dane scored once in each half (from the spot after halftime). A (unjustified?) red card by Zanka still forced Anderlecht on the defensive, but STVV didn't get any big chances, although they did regularly create danger with crosses and shots from distance. Read more »
Finally some good news from the sickbay: Samuel Edozie has recovered sufficiently from his injury and will travel to Stayen tomorrow. After it was already announced that Verschaeren's injury was not too bad, he has now even been included in the selection. It is unclear whether both men can actually start. Verschaeren may have to play with extra protection. Read more »
The long-term injured will also not return against the Canaries. These include Ashimeru, Vertonghen, Hazard, Stroeykens and Sardella. Samuel Edozie was actually expected back, but will probably not make it to Sunday's game either (although that is not out of the question). Verschaeren is undergoing scans today but he will probably not be able to play. Read more »
Yari Verschaeren played an excellent first half yesterday but stayed in at halftime with a shoulder or collarbone injury. The midfielder left the stadium with a brace and his look betrayed volumes. A scan has yet to bring clarity, but initial impressions point to a somewhat more serious injury. Verschaeren will probably be out for a while. How Hubert will resolve this is unclear for now.

David Hubert reported at the press conference that Zanka had been the victim of racist statements by one of the Slavia players (striker Chory reportedly). There were also reportedly incidents from the audience. The club would issue an official statement later and announced that it would take further steps, in the form of a complaint to UEFA. Read more »
A new game, a new player injured. This time it's all about Yari Verschaeren. The midfielder came down unfortunate and hurt his shoulder. Although he scored afterwards, he remained in the locker room at halftime. Read more »
Anderlecht has started its sixth European group match. A win is actually a must in order to make the top eight, but Anderlecht is struggling with a solid injury wave and that shows in the lineup. Read more »
In the sixth match of the Europa League, RSC Anderlecht faces an important challenge with an away match against Slavia Prague. The Belgian club needs a good result to stay in the top eight of the league, which would mean direct qualification for the next round without playoffs. Coach David Hubert, however, must miss several key players. Jan Vertonghen, Thorgan Hazard, Mario Stroeykens, Killian Sardella, Majeed Ashimeru, Samuel Edozie, Tristan Degreef and Marco Kana are all injured or rehabbing. Foket, in turn, is on one yellow cardboard from a suspension day. Read more »
David Hubert is without seven injured players in Prague. Mario Stroeykens is also out for four to six weeks, despite being a key player. “It's up to me to find solutions,” said the Anderlecht coach in a press conference. Read more »

After an eight-month absence due to injury, Thorgan Hazard looks set to celebrate his return to the field. The Anderlecht player could make his return during the last home game of the year, on Dec. 27 against Dender. With the injuries to Killian Sardella and Mario Stroeykens, that would be a welcome reinforcement. Hazard has had a tough time after suffering a cruciate ligament tear in his right knee, suffered during the playoff game against Union in April. Read more »
