Squad16 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Umar Collins

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

Squad16 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Mouscron

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

Squad16 Nov 2026

Lois Carrasco out for 14 days

The medical room confirms 14 days on the sidelines for Lois Carrasco, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Words at Mouscron training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thorgan Tielemans 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.

Market16 Nov 2026

Experience through the door at Mouscron

Dino Arslanagić arrives at 33 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Lois Openda is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Leander Kompany 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.

Market16 Nov 2026

Still no ink between Mouscron and Jerson Cabral

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Mouscron, another week without a signature from Jerson Cabral.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The manager makes Falke Vandecaetsbeek a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Mouscron. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jason De Ketelaere

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

Match5 Oct 2026

Mouscron are in real trouble now

Position 14, 6 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad5 Oct 2026

6 saves: Antoine Lejoly was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Mouscron

David Bates 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

Albin Ekdal signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Albin Ekdal and Mouscron agree another 1 years.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nothing got past Axel De Ketelaere

15 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

David Bates 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.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Hans Carrasco was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Mouscron dressing room was either.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Lois De Bruyne has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Mouscron will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
