Willem Weijs, the man who will replace Vincent Kompany in Ostend

Excluded at the end of the match in Leuven for having been too vehement against the referee, Erik Lambrechts (following an unspoken foul on Benito Raman), Vincent Kompany will serve his suspension when Ostend comes on Sunday . This means that he cannot be present on the Brussels bench, nor in the locker room before and during the match. He can go there later.

If Anderlecht did not wish to communicate on the subject, the former defender should simply take a seat in the stands or in one of the boxes reserved for players and their families. Note that, theoretically, he cannot communicate with his staff. Nor with the press.

Like the scenario experienced during the trip to Den Dreef, the former Red Devil will not take part in the post-match press conference. It is his assistant, Willem Weijs, who will have the task of coaching the Anderlechtois on the edge of the field as well as meeting media obligations.
