Squad16 Nov 2026

A fracture rules Thibaud Verlinden out for 69 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason OH Leuven will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market16 Nov 2026

Takahiro Akimoto asks to leave OH Leuven

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Birger Verstraete in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at OH Leuven this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Tobe Leysen

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tobe Leysen, and the manager let it.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A row about effort at OH Leuven

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Massimo Decoene was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Loan watch16 Nov 2026

Théo Radelet counts the days

“I watch every OH Leuven game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at RAAL La Louviere runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

A promise honoured for Łukasz Łakomy

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. OH Leuven told Łukasz Łakomy something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

William Balikwisha gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say William Balikwisha is on it.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Noë Dussenne knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at OH Leuven, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Thibaud Verlinden breaks a bone — 101 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 101 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match17 Oct 2026

No end in sight to OH Leuven's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at OH Leuven has to find a result from somewhere.

Market19 Oct 2026

Takahiro Akimoto hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what OH Leuven can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Abdoul Karim Traoré says OH Leuven went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Birger Verstraete in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at OH Leuven this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Real improvement from Alouis Diriken at OH Leuven

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Alouis Diriken is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match17 Oct 2026

OH Leuven come up short against Union SG

Union SG left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Noë Dussenne gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A row about effort at OH Leuven

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Massimo Decoene was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad5 Oct 2026

117 days out for Thibaud Verlinden after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. OH Leuven will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match3 Oct 2026

The wait goes on for OH Leuven

8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at OH Leuven

Óscar Gil was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Dennis Praet signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Dennis Praet and OH Leuven agree another 3 years.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Tobe Leysen

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tobe Leysen, and the manager let it.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Takahiro Akimoto wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at OH Leuven can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nobody on the pitch touched Michy Batshuayi

7.73, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. OH Leuven had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Match3 Oct 2026

OH Leuven share the spoils with Zulte Waregem

A 1‑1 draw with Zulte Waregem leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Tobe Leysen gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Tobe Leysen is on it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A fracture rules Thibaud Verlinden out for 125 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason OH Leuven will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Noë Dussenne: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” OH Leuven have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match26 Sep 2026

No end in sight to OH Leuven's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at OH Leuven has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad28 Sep 2026

The step up is real for Josué Kongolo

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and OH Leuven know it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A falling-out at OH Leuven

Birger Verstraete and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match26 Sep 2026

3 matches without a goal for OH Leuven

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Ewoud Pletinckx's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Adnan Doku on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Adnan Doku after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match19 Sep 2026

6 matches without a win for OH Leuven

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around OH Leuven are no longer polite ones.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at OH Leuven

Takuya Ogiwara was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Henok Teklab was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad21 Sep 2026

OH Leuven are still strangers to each other

10 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Loan watch21 Sep 2026

Théo Radelet has seen enough of RAAL La Louviere

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at OH Leuven, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Wouter George

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at OH Leuven training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alouis Diriken is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Adnan Doku on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Adnan Doku after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.
