Debast reveals how long he'll be left out of Sporting's squad | OneFootball

Zeno Debast was injured in the match against Marseille, which is why he has been under the care of Sporting’s Performance Unit. This Sunday, November 9, the central defender took advantage of his day off and attended a match in Brussels, where he watched the game between Anderlecht and Club Brugge, which ended with a 1-0 victory for his former team.

Aside from his presence at his former club’s stadium, the player addressed his recovery from a left knee injury. Speaking to DAZN, the 22-year-old defender hinted at a possible timeline for his return to the pitch for the national champions.

"Everything is going well for me. I got injured in the Champions League two weeks ago. But there’s still a couple more weeks to go and I should be able to return," explained the number 6 of the green and whites, who will miss the Belgian national team’s fixtures during this FIFA break, which count towards qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

The player also spoke about the match between Anderlecht and Club Brugge: "I had a day off. It’s always good to come here to Anderlecht’s stadium. It feels like a second home. And whenever I can, I’ll come back. We’ll have to come back here more often. Anderlecht played well, they had really good energy. Maybe a bit more of that was missing at the start of the season. I arranged with Alexis Saelemaekers two weeks ago to come here together to watch the game. It’s always a pleasure to be at Anderlecht. They will always be my family", he confessed.

At the start of this season, Zeno Debast – valued at 30 million euros – has already played 13 official matches wearing the Sporting shirt. The Belgian international for the Lions has so far recorded 855 minutes of play, but is yet to score or provide an assist in his personal tally.
