Our two most recent acquisitions, Roel Van Hemert and Hamada Lamloum will start the 2nd half of the season in the first team squad. Van Hemert began a running programme on Monday. The Egyptian striker/right winger has undergone a series of tests.

Abdou Jammeh and Mohamed Abdel Wahed have both come back a bit later from their homeland. The Gambian joined training on Tuesday, Mo will be back in Belgium on Wednesday slightly delayed due to illlness.
Petar Bojovic is currently training again with the First Team squad. Julien Tournut is also back in the squad fully fit.

Sherif El Baily underwent several tests on Tuesday. Meyers, back from his internal suspension, is suffering with his groin. An x-ray later in the week will reveal whether there is a tear or not in the adductors. Akwetey Mensah underwent an x-ray on Tuesday evening. The news was positive, and he's able to rejoin the squad with the normal training schedule.

William Mensah is waiting for his operation. Due to an intensive revalidation period afterwards, he will be out of action for some time. Selemani Ndikumana is following fitness training with the team, and is also following individual training. Dodo Elgabas must also follow an individual revalidation schedule.
Assistant trainer Chris Janssens was also absent on Tuesday due to heart palpitations, but will be back on Wednesday.
