Match26 Aug 2026

The cup run ends for Lokeren

0‑2 against Racing Genk, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market31 Aug 2026

Lokeren say no — this time

The offer from Dijon for Leander Doku 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.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 7 of the 25 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Market31 Aug 2026

Youri Onana 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 Lokeren can pretend not to have heard.

A first appearance Radja Courtois will want to forget — 5.58

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.58, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Nobody could get near Simon Mignolet

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Lokeren

Simon Mignolet 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

Simon Boyata sends Lokeren past OH Leuven

It finished 2‑1, and it was Simon Boyata’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Lokeren.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Charles Lukaku at his very best

Marked 8.77. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Lokeren.

Market17 Aug 2026

Ajax come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Lokeren did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market17 Aug 2026

Charleroi watching Yannick Alderweireld

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Lokeren have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Radja Lukaku pops up at the right end — 7.19

7.19, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Lokeren

Charles Lukaku 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 ratings17 Aug 2026

Simon Mignolet runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Zinho Alderweireld 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Charles Lukaku

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

Loan watch17 Aug 2026

Zinho Witsel has seen enough of Anderlecht

“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 Lokeren, and 0 appearances in 0 say he has earned the hearing.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

The chances came and went for Yannick Alderweireld

9 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.
