Who is it looking out at RB Salzburg?
The Dane Mads Bidstrup (24), who in the meantime can also count on interest from the English Nottingham Forest, carries the captain’s band and plays metronome in midfield. He acts in a Danish tandem with Maurits Kjærgaard (22), tipped by former teammate Van der Brempt as “one-to-watch” among the Austrians.
In Doel is the current Austrian International Alexander Schlager (29), who likes to play with his defense. There, the experienced Stefan Lainer (32) – returned this summer from Mönchengladbach – the old age blanket on the right.
For fans of the Belgian competition, some other players will also ring a bell.
Probably the best known name: Yorbe Vertessen (24). The Belgian striker made the switch from the German Union Berlin in the winter and will have to take care of the goals tonight – in the absence of top striker Karim Konaté (21).
Anyone who will be able to help him with that are a former western player Néné Dorgeles (22). The Malian Dribbelaar has already made a big impression in Austria and was recently counting interest from Newcastle United and AS Roma, among others.
With the attentive Belgian fans, the name Kamil Piatkowski (25) can also sound familiar. The Polish central defender once spent half a season at Ghent, but does not seem to have to count on a base place at Salzburg tonight.
