Siebe Van der Heyden was absent subscribers this Friday on the Union side. A suprise.
Koki Machida started on Friday, which was not expected by Felice Mazzù: Siebe Van der Heyden, initially scheduled, suffered a setback. “Siebe came to me this afternoon to tell me he wasn’t 100%. He was supposed to start this game, but he was very honest when he could have played. But he didn’t want to take any risks,” explained the Union Saint-Gilloise coach at a post-match press conference.
Domino effect: the absence of Van der Heyden brought that of Jonas Bager’s score sheet. “Jonas was supposed to be there initially but you know that we need 6 Belgians on the scoresheet. Siebe stayed on the scoresheet and I had to take Jonas out”, concludes Mazzù.
