Ortwin De Wolf, Davino Verhulst, Bjorn Engels, Sam Vines, and Kobe Corbanie, five several key players from Antwerp’s squad will miss the opening week of UEFA’s Champions League against Barcelona because they have been added to the injury reserve list, and therefore, the will be sidelined.

Leading their attack is Vincent Janssen, who has been in fine form this season with six goals in eight appearances. The 29-year-old forward is expected to play a crucial role once again in the team’s frontline.
