Last week there was football again in the Challenger Pro League and Croky Cup, but in the coming days the Jupiler Pro League will also wake up from its hibernation. The debates will be opened on Friday evening by AA Gent and KV Mechelen, two teams in desperate need of players at the moment.
The Buffaloes’ problems are well known, but Malinwa has also noticed that his player base has been significantly thinned out in recent weeks. Walsh and Konaté are headed to the Asian and African Cups respectively, while Belghali, Bolingoli, Raemaekers and Storm have been out of action for some time. There were also revelations about Bassette, who missed the internship because of a meniscus injury.
Injuries plague KV Mechelen
Besnik Hasi is therefore sounding the alarm. “There is no more competition in the core and that doesn’t benefit the dynamics,” says the trainer Official Gazette of Antwerp. He is particularly worried about the many injuries. “Seven serious injuries in one season. Then you have to look for the error somewhere. With the coach, with the medical staff or on the field.”
Hasi is particularly annoyed by the poor condition of the practice area and sees this as a major reason for the high number of injuries. As a result, the Mechelen center is currently very tight and Hasi hopes that reinforcements will arrive in the coming weeks. However, he fears the worst.
Hasi fears reinforcements
“I hope so. I don’t dare say whether it will happen,” he said. “We know what we want, but Tim Matthys can’t do anything without a budget. I understand that our boss has invested money to close gaps in the club. As a coach, however, I think first and foremost about the team.” We’re still not there. So good for the rankings. And I see the teams around us stepping up.”
With ten match days remaining in the regular competition, KV Mechelen is in tenth place in the table, but is barely a point ahead of the last four, who have to play play-downs at the end of the stage. So points still have to be collected in the coming weeks.
