Antwerp have not had an easy time scoring in their last two matches without Vincent Jansen. Last summer they had the perfect replacement, but they just let him go.
Due to a calf injury, Vincent Jansen was not present for two days with Antwerp. Fortunately, they could count on Toby Alderweireld against Zulte Waregem, but things went wrong against Sporting Charleroi. Obviously, the Great Old Man would have a hard time acting without his point of contact in advance.
Bruni Nsimba and Michael Frei left over the winter break. As a result, there is no pure attacker available in the selection. However, last summer it was still there.
Antwerp allowed Emmanuel Imiga to leave for Sturm Graz, Austria, last summer. The 19-year-old striker left Antwerp for €1.5m after being taken from Dutch club Sparta Rotterdam for €2m just six months ago.
In Antwerp he did not score more than one game in which he got 22 minutes and did not score. In Sturm Graz, the 1.95m forward gets his chance. In 26 matches, he scored nine goals and provided four assists. In recent weeks, he has found his form quite well because in his last four matches he has scored six goals and provided one assist.
Wasn’t Antwerp more patient with Emmanuel Emiga?
