Mechelen goalkeeper out for months

KV Mechelen goalkeeper Olivier Renard will be unavailable for three to four months after fracturing his cervical vertebrae in a Belgian Cup match on Wednesday.

Near the end of the match with Charleroi, Renard went down following a clash with an opponent. Initially the injury seemed mild but later tests point out that it was more serious than expected.

“He was very lucky that nothing shifted, but he will definitely be out for months, tactical director Fi van Hoof told Sporza.

The player himself also reacted, thanking fans of both Mechelen and Charleroi for their support.

Mechelen won the match 2-5 after extra time and advance to the quarter finals of the national Cup tournament. In the domestic league, Mechelen are currently in 11th place.
