Luca Oyen finally wants to find rhythm this season. This will go through an extended stay with the U23.
At 22, Luca Oyen presents an unfortunately well busy medical history. The young winger has already been the victim of two ruptures of the crossed ligament, leaving it on the touch each time for almost a year.
What damn braking the career of the one who had made a resounding beginnings with Racing at only 17 years old … at the start of the 2020/2021 season. If unpredictable ball at the foot, Oyen now seeks to relaunch the machine.
Genk tried to give it up this summer
At the end of last season, we saw him on the return with the U23 team in D1B. Two years from his contract, a departure was envisaged this summer. But the old Diablotin remained at the quay. And it will not resume with the nucleus A. Despite a calendar loaded with the Europa League, Genk decided to keep it in reserve.
Racing even released a press release to clarify the situation “Luca returns with Jong Genk. The player and the club are convinced that at this stage of his career, playing is a priority. In the past few weeks, the club, in collaboration with the entourage of Oyen, has sought an external solution that has not yet been found”.
“In order to find playing time, Luca fully joins the Jong Genk team. Since this season, she has been working independently. The club hopes that he will be able to save playing time again and play an important role not only on the field, but also outside the field, in the locker room,” concludes Genk. A new test to overcome for the boy, to whom nothing will definitely be spared.
Luca Oyen joins the core of Jong Genk. Both player and club are convinced that it is currently important to make playing minutes in his career.
