After sharing in Anderlecht, Standard hopes to shake Club Brugge at Sclessin on Sunday. For this meeting, Luka Elsner can count on the returns of Bastien and Klauss. On the other hand, Muleka, Cimirot and Van Damme are uncertain. “Jackson left training a few days ago with pain in his adductors. It’s a little better but we’re waiting for the results of the MRI. For Cimirot, it’s his calf again that’s the problem. As for Van Damme, he has gradually returned to training but he still has a residual rate of positivity for Covid-19 in his tests. We are awaiting the opinion of the Pro League doctor concerning his participation or not in the Sunday meeting.”
A meeting that must show an evolution. “And not just in terms of mentality”, says Elsner. “We are aware of the limits we have shown in the game at Anderlecht and we must do better in the use of the ball to exploit the transition phases more effectively.”
It will be essential to hurt the people of Bruges. “We must take the first leg that we played at the Club as a reference. We were united and dangerous during the transition phases. We must rely on this kind of performance to demonstrate that we can face the best teams without blushing. or lower your head.”
