Maxim De Cuyper will avoid a serious injury after a collision during Belgium’s recent match, according to reports. The defender sustained a blow and subsequent impact with the advertising hoarding during the game, but initial assessments indicate no significant damage.
However, the news is not positive for Youri Tielemans, who will miss several upcoming matches as a result of an unspecified injury. The extent of Tielemans’ absence has not been detailed, but it represents a setback for both the player and the national team.
The incident involving De Cuyper occurred during play, prompting concern among teammates and coaching staff. Video footage of the event, as reported by Nieuwsblad, shows the impact with the advertising board. Medical personnel quickly attended to De Cuyper on the pitch before he was cleared to continue, and subsequent evaluations have confirmed the absence of serious injury.
Tielemans’ injury is separate from the incident involving De Cuyper. Details surrounding the nature and severity of Tielemans’ injury remain limited, but the confirmation that he will miss multiple matches suggests a more substantial issue. The team has not yet announced a specific timeline for his return to training or competition.
