Sébastien Pocognoli highlights the team’s success through a 17 out of 21, despite an active mercato. This stability allowed the whole group to develop more serenely. In parallel with arrivals and departures, the medical staff had to manage several players requiring treatment, including Mohammed Fuseini, Promise David, Kamiel Van de Perre and Kevin Mac Alliister, who were frequently consulted. In addition, Christian Burgess, the captain, was moved to Dendermonde in the last match, even during the international truce, due to a foot injury contracted during the derby against Anderlecht.

Christian Burgess’ injury, despite the stitching, remains a source of uncertainty about his participation in the next game against the PSV. The English defender was removed from the balloon training for several weeks, which jeopardizes his full recovery. This situation is all the more worrying in addition to the suspension of Raul Florucz, depriving the Union of a key player and considerably weakening its defensive strength.

The combined absence of Burgess and Florucz represents a major challenge for the Union. Sébastien Pocognoli insists on the difficulty of this situation, stressing the negative impact on the team. The management of these injuries and suspensions highlights the fragility of the workforce and the need for the staff to find solutions to maintain the team’s competitiveness. The outcome of the Burgess situation remains uncertain and will have a significant impact on the team composition for the upcoming match.
