Player selection Union - FC Lugano
Coach Alexander Blessin and his staff announced their first European selection for the first Europa League barrage match against FC Lugano at the Anderlecht stadium. Mohamed Amoura is not eligible to play for the time being.
First of all, we wish to stress that coach Alexander Blessin never said at today's press conference that he was 'dissatisfied' with the pitch at the Anderlecht stadium. The greenkeepers had a conversation with him about the state of the pitch, which is now on the mend.
In response, the coach said that there is nothing to change about it, so it is the same conditions for both teams. Union thanks Anderlecht for renting out its stadium and cooperation on the ground.
Mohamed Amoura is administratively not yet eligible to play for this match. Ross Sykes continues to work on his recovery.
Cameron Puertas:
Lugano is a team that can take points anywhere. They compete at the top of Swiss football and won the cup two years ago. So we are going to have to be sharp. I scored against them once before, so I hope to repeat that!
