The physical tests are currently being completed at Antwerp. Dwomoh and Frey, among others, were spotted on Friday, Engels was on hand to continue working on his return. Who is no longer expected: Lamkel Zé. The Cameroonian is no longer welcome at the Tawny Owl.
The players, divided into small groups, will have to register for the medical part and the physical tests today and tomorrow. In total, almost thirty players are screened. This includes Ecuadorian newcomer Anthony Valencia, who already took part of his tests yesterday. And of course Captain Faris Haroun, who adds another year in the red and white colors. Alexis De Sart and Frank Boya are back again. The mercenaries returning from OH Leuven and Zulte Waregem may play in the favor of Mark van Bommel during the preparation. The same goes for a handful of promises.

There will also be some absentees. Radja Nainggolan is still recovering after his ankle surgery. The Antwerp native will also be missing from the first group training on Monday. He is being prepared for the Conference League preliminary rounds and the start of the competition. Michel-Ange Balikwisha and Abdoulaye Seck are enjoying a week’s holiday after their international obligations. Didier Lamkel Zé is no longer welcome. The Cameroonian, who was loaned to three different clubs last season, is still under contract until mid-2023, but may leave. Antwerp is also looking for a solution for Guy Mbenza and Junior Pius.
