It remains to be seen who might join Beerschot and Dender as PhD candidates, but otherwise the cards have been shuffled in the Challenger Pro League. At least on a sporting level, because off the field the battle continues.
For example, Patro Eisden, Francs Borains and KV Oostende are not yet sure of their professional license. The Kustboys managed to save themselves in the nick of time at the expense of Seraing, which dropped to First National. Although the people of Liège do not want to just leave it at that.
Complaint from Seraing
SudInfo reports that Seraing has filed a complaint against KV Oostende. Both in their mutual match and against Patro Eisden, they allegedly put a player on the referee’s sheet who was not registered on the official player list.
This concerns in particular Alessandro Albanese, who was confined to the bench for 90 minutes each time. After being laid off for a long time before the New Year, the 24-year-old winger only played against Club NXT and Jong Genk.
KVO lights candle
However, his presence in the selection could be very costly to his employer. If the Disciplinary Committee decides that KV Oostende loses both matches, it could still be relegated from the Challenger Pro League.
So we wait anxiously in the Diaz Arena. Although various scenarios are still possible, it is far from certain whether they will actually be charged with two forfeit defeats. The Disciplinary Committee must now quickly consider this.
