Bjorn Meijer’s injury also means that Club Brugge does not have too many alternatives at left back and now has to hope that nothing more happens to Maxime De Cuyper. Although it is also a unique opportunity for a young talent from Club NXT.
After all, Hayen plans to include Joaquin Seys in his core. The 19-year-old left back has been training with the first team for a while and the plan was to transfer him there permanently from next season.
These plans are now being brought forward a bit. Seys is the only backup for De Cuyper and will be at the beginning of next season, because Meijer will not be fit yet.
The chance that the Dutchman will make a summer transfer has also become virtually nil due to his injury. This means that he will have to stay with blue-black for at least another six months.
However, there was quite a bit of interest in him, especially from Italy and England. It would also have earned Club a nice transfer fee, because his value was listed at 7 million on Transfermarkt.
Meijer was often looking for his best form this season. He pushed De Cuyper to the left flank, but he did not actually deserve that, although he also pulled his weight on the right.
