Hannes Delcroix entered the game before the half-hour to compensate for the exclusion of Wesley Hoedt, he had to be replaced at the break. He was visibly suffering from the adductors. “He hadn’t played for a year (Editor’s note: four months in fact) and had to get into the game. A priori, however, this is nothing serious”, Kompany said.
Francis Amuzu also had to be replaced. The winger held his hip and limped. “He just took a hit.”
