Bongonda ruled out of Royal Antwerp game as Genk set for Samatta reunion

The Blue-White revealed the DR Congo prospect will be unavailable for Wednesday’s league showdown against the Great Old

Genk have confirmed Theo Bongonda will play no part in Wednesday’s Belgian First Division A encounter against Royal Antwerp.

According to a statement from the club website, the former Belgium youth international is still out of action due to a hamstring setback, while offering an update on Nigeria and Ghana prospect Mujaid Sadick as he continues to recover from injury.

Bongonda, 25, suffered the knock during last week’s Europa League game against Rapid Vienna, prompting manager John van den Brom to substitute him for Mike Ndayishimiye at half-time.
