It doesn’t look good for Jelle Vossen. The 36-year-old attacker is no longer a basic player at Zulte Waregem and will not be one any time soon.

It appears that Vossen is in his last season at Zulte Waregem, perhaps as a professional footballer. Vossen was very important last season in the promotion to the Jupiler Pro League, but now he plays second fiddle at Essevee.

In the pecking order, Vossen has been overtaken by 23-year-old Anosike Ementa. He is the new attack leader of Zulte Waregem. Ementa herself has a lot of respect for Vossen. “Depending on the type of match you play, the coach can use our specific strengths. I have a lot of respect for Jelle and think I can still learn a lot from him, but at the same time I also try to do everything I can during training to show the coach that he should play with me,” he says. The Newspaper.

Vossen has no choice but to remain silent, work hard and be available when coach Sven Vandenbroeck needs him. Although he probably imagined it completely differently.
