Descotte forfeit: Charleroi without a striker to challenge Ghent

No Vakoun Bayo (on loan from Ghent), and no Anthony Descotte for the important game this Saturday against the Buffalos. The young Carolo striker suffers from the right ankle. An injury incurred during a duel in training on Wednesday. We saw him leave the stadium on crutches this Friday at the start of the afternoon.

“We are waiting for the precise medical diagnosis but it is still very painful. He will also be out for the two games next week. (Editor’s note: Kortrijk on Tuesday and Sint-Truiden on Friday)“, announced coach Edward Still, who finds himself helpless in attack since Nicholson has left and that Bedia will soon imitate him. Of course, Gholizadeh, Zaroury and the new Petkevicius stand ready, but none are true centre-forwards.

Still comments: “We are going to have to be creative to create an attacking animation capable of destabilizing Ghent. We are aware of the magnitude of the challenge. Ghent is having a great season by managing to manage the European Cup, the Belgian Cup and the championship But we are determined to turn the page on the last games and get back on the right track.”

In the midst of these hiccups, there is still good news. It is the return of Adem Zorgane, earlier than expected, after the early elimination of Algeria from the group stage of the African Cup of Nations, Thursday evening. “Adem should return to Belgium on Saturday morning. He trained well during the competition (Editor’s note: without playing) and he is a very professional person. He won’t start but having him on the bench will be a good thing for everyone.”

The selection : Kamara, Chiacig, Van Cleemput, Knezevic, Andreou, Wasinski, Bessilé, Ozornwafor, Boukamir, Benchaib, Zorgane, Morioka, Ilaimaharitra, Kayembe, Donnez, Gholizadeh, Nkuba, Petkevicius, Zaroury.

Absent: Tchatchoua (suspended), Desprez (Covid), Koffi (Can), Willems, Zedadka, Lutte, Descotte (injured), Bayo (belongs to Ghent), Ferraro, Lokembo (choice).
