The football free weekend comes as a relief for Beerschot, now that Will Still's team faces a bit of an injury crisis. No less than seven first team players were given a rest to allow them to recover and pick up training from the beginning of next week.
Tom Pietermaat sustained a groin strain- and Pierre Bourdin a muscle injury both during our away win at Waasland Beveren. Musashi Suzuki got a knock on training.
Furthermore George Broadbent and Ismaila Coulibaly will be unavailable for the coming weeks. Our young English defensive midfielder injured himself during a training session a couple of days ago, while Coulibaly will be rested and taken care of to heal his foot injury.
Noubissi and Bakkali are still training individually, but it seems the latter will rejoin the group training at the beginning of next week.
