Marked for Noam Ferro

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad28 Feb 2028

The knee: Noam Ferro out for 21 days

21 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. OH Leuven lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad28 Feb 2028

A muscle injury sidelines Thibaud Verlinden for 15 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. OH Leuven will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad28 Feb 2028

Óscar Gil 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 dugout28 Feb 2028

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.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

Siebe Schrijvers is still paying for one afternoon at OH Leuven

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

Half-satisfied: Romelu De Ketelaere on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Player ratings28 Feb 2028

Siebe Schrijvers could not find anything

4.24. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.

Match26 Feb 2028

OH Leuven draw a blank against Anderlecht

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Anderlecht defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

Birger Verstraete asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad21 Feb 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Noam Ferro

28 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. OH Leuven lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match19 Feb 2028

Nowhere to hide for OH Leuven

0‑4 against Racing Genk, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad21 Feb 2028

A falling-out at OH Leuven

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

The dugout21 Feb 2028

Siebe Schrijvers 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.

Boardroom21 Feb 2028

Nobody left the OH Leuven dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Loan watch21 Feb 2028

Simon Kalambayi has seen enough of CSKA Sofia

“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 5 appearances in 34 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout21 Feb 2028

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑4 defeat, delivered by Romelu De Ketelaere to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout21 Feb 2028

The team sheet said everything about Birger Verstraete

Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Birger Verstraete.

The terraces21 Feb 2028

Everybody has an opinion about Arnaud Bodart

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

14 Feb 2028
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad14 Feb 2028

The knee: Noam Ferro out for 37 days

37 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. OH Leuven lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match12 Feb 2028

OH Leuven tear Sint-Truiden apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Sint-Truiden, and it could have been more.

Player ratings14 Feb 2028

A brace, and Maximilian Baumgartner takes the afternoon — 8.54

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Maximilian Baumgartner provided it, and the 8.54 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

Wouter George 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.

Squad14 Feb 2028

OH Leuven lose Noë Dussenne

66 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Words exchanged at OH Leuven

Noë Dussenne and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match12 Feb 2028

The drought breaks for OH Leuven

5 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Sint-Truiden were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Player ratings14 Feb 2028

A masterclass from Thibaud Verlinden

Marked 8.27 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Home is on Takahiro Akimoto's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; OH Leuven are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • Looking ahead The leaders are next for OH Leuven
  • The dugout Bryang Kayo has become a man the manager trusts
