Genk advised to drop Onuachu for Champions League qualifiers by ex-Belgium midfielder Hendrikx

The Super Eagles striker missed the Smurfs' last league game and he is reportedly edging closer to the exit door

Former Belgium midfielder Marc Hendrikx has urged his old club Genk to drop Paul Onuachu for their Uefa Champions League qualifying match against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday.

After playing 62 minutes in their opening league match against Standard Liege on July 23, Onauchu did not make the matchday squad for Genk's league outing against KV Oostende, which ended in a 4-3 loss last Friday.

The 27-year-old is reportedly attracting transfer interest from several European clubs after a brilliant 2020-21 season, in which he scored 33 goals in 38 league matches.
