Vanhaezebrouck misses press moment (and match?) due to illness
No Hein Vanhaezebrouck at the familiar press moment this afternoon. A result of the open clash with chairman Ivan De Witte? Not at all. The coach has been felled by illness.
“That has been the case since Sweden,” said assistant Peter Balette, who replaced HVH. “He wanted to keep himself strong, but the medicines didn’t keep him going. If I have a hard time understanding him on the phone, you know that training doesn’t work.”
How will the Buffalos handle that against Union?
“There is an A and B scenario,” Balette revealed. “Hein may be there, but he won’t be in the dressing room. It’s contagious, his wife has already been infected. He will therefore avoid contact with players. We’ve discussed everything.”
