Club Brugge Scores Early as Tresoldi Capitalizes on Mechelen Keeper’s Error
Hans Vanaken is doubtful for Club Brugge’s regular-season finale against KV Mechelen. He suffered a hip problem during last weekend’s match.
Injury details
Vanaken left the match against Westerlo after one half. He experienced hip discomfort and could not continue.
Subsequent medical tests indicated the injury may not be severe. Initial results suggest limited damage.
Coach’s update
Manager Ivan Leko spoke about the situation at a Friday press conference. He described Vanaken’s progress as better than initially expected.
Vanaken is following a personalised training programme this week. The staff aim to have him fully available for selection.
Implications for the match
Vanaken rarely misses games, so his fitness carries weight for team selection. His role is central to Club Brugge’s play.
Club Brugge scored early in recent action when Tresoldi took advantage of a mistake by the Mechelen goalkeeper. That kind of quick strike highlights the team’s attacking options.
