From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Jeppe Erenbjerg puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Racing Genk, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Mujaid Sadick shuts the door

Defensive actions: 29, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Match

7 unbeaten for Racing Genk

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Racing Genk did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Junya Ito 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 Racing Genk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nikolas Sattlberger shuts the door

Defensive actions: 21, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Match

Racing Genk see off Lokeren

Three points for Racing Genk, 1‑0 the final word against Lokeren in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Boardroom

95% of the income goes out in wages at Racing Genk

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Junya Ito

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

Squad

The manager makes an example of Ken Nkuba

“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.

In brief
