Senne Lammens in goal, Zeno Van den Bosch as replacement for Toby Alderweireld? This is the suspected elf of Antwerp

Mark van Bommel (46) is disappointed now that he has to miss Jean Butez and Toby Alderweireld on the FC Porto field. How will the Antwerp coach deal with the loss of both strong players?

It is clear who is in goal. Van Bommel said at the press conference that he never reveals the line-up, but jokingly, because he had already stated that he has a lot of confidence in Senne Lammens. “He is the future.” After the cup match at Lierse, this is the second match for the 21-year-old Lammens. De Wolf and Verhulst are sitting on the couch.

Replacing Alderweireld is less obvious, because he arranges everything in the back and takes care of the construction. But the past has shown that Van Bommel quite believes in Zeno Van den Bosch (19), so we chose him. Van den Bosch has already started five times this season and also came on during the crucial play-off matches against AEK Athens. There is another option, namely posting Ritchie De Laet in the center of the defense, with Bataille and Wijndal, for example, on the flanks. Or the coach could even opt for a five-man backline, with De Laet and Van den Bosch. He can always surprise us.

We do not expect any changes in midfield and up front after the 3-2 win against Genk. Partly due to the injuries to Keita and Ondrejka, the pecking order there is currently clear. Vincent Janssen proved on Saturday why he still has a big advantage over Ilenikhena.
