Squad24 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Christian Fellaini

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

KV Oostende say no — this time

The offer from PSV for Lois Witsel was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market24 Aug 2026

Eden Doku 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 KV Oostende can pretend not to have heard.

Radja Tielemans 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 KV Oostende this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Mousa Mertens falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Mousa Mertens

“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.

Heerenveen join the queue for Laurent De Ketelaere

Add another name to the list: Heerenveen have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Laurent De Ketelaere. The answer from KV Oostende has not changed — yet.

Market24 Aug 2026

KV Oostende buy the years ahead of Shion Shinkawa

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Youri Courtois runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match1 Aug 2026

Lokeren punish KV Oostende for switching off

2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Youri Courtois will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at KV Oostende escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

A brace, and Youri Courtois takes the afternoon — 7.83

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Youri Courtois provided it, and the 7.83 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market3 Aug 2026

Youri Courtois wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at KV Oostende hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Axel De Ketelaere attracts admirers

The name of Axel De Ketelaere has come up in conversations KV Oostende were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Match1 Aug 2026

KV Oostende and Lokeren take a point apiece

It finished 3‑3, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Mousa Batshuayi

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
