Anderlecht suffers a double blow against Cercle Brugge

RSC Anderlecht will visit Cercle Brugge on Sunday. The Purple & White will be looking for three points in Jan Breydel to secure or consolidate their leading position. The RSCA is now receiving disappointing news in advance.

Anderlecht won 3-0 over Gruen Zwart the day before the match, a performance they would like to repeat in Bruges. However, Brian Rimmer faces some headaches beforehand. A lot of ink has been spilled, especially regarding Danish duo Anders Dreyer and Kasper Schmeichel.

Dreyer and Schmeichel are certainly absent against Cercle

The top scorer in the Purple and White has injured his hamstring, while his compatriot between the posts has problems with his adductor muscles. Therefore, whether the Danish duo will take the bus to Bruges remains a question mark at the moment.

latest news He thinks they now know they won't be ready for the match at Circle. After the scans, it looks like the damage to the two isn't too bad, but playing against Cercle isn't an option. This means that Brian Rimmer will have to resolve matters against the Association.

Dreyer has already scored 18 goals

Which is disappointing for Anderlecht, who will have to do so without two of their strong players. At home against Cercle, Dreyer was good for 2-0, his 18th goal of the season. This means he has a significant stake in Purple & White's interim leadership position.

For the RSCA match, all eyes will be on Brussels and Genk. The first chaser Club Brugge will start at 1:30 p.m. Blauw-Zwart can take the lead with a win (for now) over Anderlecht. Or how everything remains so exciting in the Champions Playoffs.
