Anderlecht defender Moussa Ndiaye will be sidelined for the upcoming fixtures after suffering a hamstring injury.
The Senegalese international is confirmed to miss Thursday’s Cup clash against Beerschot, as well as this weekend’s league match against Club Brugge.
While the injury has kept Ndiaye off the pitch, initial reports suggest that the setback is not as severe as it may have first seemed.
Anderlecht have assured fans that the 24-year-old should be able to resume full training by next week.
Despite this positive outlook, the club is taking a cautious approach, particularly with Ndiaye having recently secured a regular starting position in the team.
Anderlecht are prioritising his long-term fitness to ensure the injury does not worsen.
The timing of the injury is unfortunate, coming at a crucial moment in the season as Ndiaye has become an integral part of the team’s defence.
However, with the issue believed to be relatively minor, the Senegalese player’s return to action is expected in the near future, offering some relief to both Anderlecht and head coach David Hubert.
