Keisuke Goto seemed to be injured after his celebration against Antwerp by sliding on his knees. The latter has obviously had consequences on her hamstrings.
Hasi tried to minimize gravity, evoking cramps. “He had already pointed out at halftime that he would not last 90 minutes,” said the coach, adding that the replacement was planned and not linked to the celebration.
Despite this, doubts remain on his presence for the final of the Cup against the Bruges club. In the locker room, Goto’s slide will not fail to make you smile, but for Anderlecht, the situation is much more serious. More efficient than his competitor Luis Vazquez in recent weeks, an absence of Goto would be a real blow for the team in the final.
This type of injury recalls other incidents, such as that of Eden Hazard in Euro 2016 after a similar celebration against Hungary. Abroad, players such as Matic and Neuer have also experienced injuries related to their celebrations. Anderlecht supporters also remember Bob Peeters’ injury for Genk.
The Japanese participation in the final remains uncertain and will depend on the reaction of his body in the coming days. Hasi will fear an absence, especially since Vazquez, despite his many opportunities, has not yet shown great precision.
