📰 Team News: Oud-Heverlee Leuven

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just one fitness concern for the Oud-Heverlee Leuven gaffer Felice Mazzù to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Noë Dussenne (minor knock) will miss out.

📰 Team News: Genk

Genk boss Nicky Hayen has to currently contend with reduced team options. Noah Adedeji-Sternberg (Hamstring injury), Konstantinos Karetsas (Ankle injury) and Matte Smets (minor knock) are those who can’t be considered.

Let’s see how it plays out.
