Jayden Onia Seke Leaves Lotto Park in Tears Following Lower Back Blow
Jayden Onia Seke exited the pitch in tears early in the second half during RSC Anderlecht’s fixture against RB Salzburg in the League Phase of the Europa League, VoetbalPrimeur.be reported. The 17-year-old Anderlecht talent sustained a blow to his lower back from an opponent and had to be substituted by Vitor Bruno, leaving the pitch inconsolable at Lotto Park while holding a 1–0 lead.
Reporting on the incident, Sporza noted that the flank attacker was visibly distressed after taking the heavy hit. Trainer Vitor Bruno offered a paternal embrace to the youngster on the sidelines and later addressed the emotional exit in his post-match remarks. “Jayden is still young, he might not be used to feeling this kind of pain,” Bruno said. “I don’t know exactly what happened, but he was suffering. Maybe he was just disappointed that I had to substitute him. Anyway, we will see what the damage is in the coming hours.” Bruno added that at his age, players do not always know how to gauge such pain, which perhaps explained why he was so emotional.

Despite the departure of Onia Seke shortly after the interval, the Brussels side managed to press forward and seal a 2–0 victory over the Austrian visitors. The European win hands the squad momentum ahead of a domestic fixture against Club Brugge at the Jan Breydelstadion on the upcoming Sunday.
