Genk awaits Yira Sor's departure
K.R.C. Genk will have to do without Yira Sor soon. Jess Thorup confirmed that the striker was not on the club's premises for the past two days and is no longer part of his plans.
What's happening?
Yira Sor is on the verge of signing with Amedspor, the Turkish club where Besnik Hasi is the coach. Thorup stated that he does not know if all the documents have been signed, but left no room for doubt about the immediate situation at Genk.
Why is this important for K.R.C. Genk?
The departure of Yira Sor means new movement in the core during the summer transfer window. The Limburgers can focus fully on the competition this season, as there is no European football waiting.
What's next?
Jess Thorup must lead the team back to the top of Belgian football, but also sees players leaving. The coach placed the unpredictable pre-season in perspective. Genk used those matches to give players chances, try out things and manage the physical load.
Jess Thorup protects Adedeji-Sternberg
In addition to the impending departure of Sor, the situation around Adedeji-Sternberg also raises attention. The young player was booed by a part of the Genk fans during the pre-season. He is on his way to Club Brugge, but Thorup emphasized that he can count on his support as long as he is still at Genk.
Genk is not only waiting to see how quickly Sor completes his transition to Amedspor. The tension around Adedeji-Sternberg is also palpable, although Thorup holds to the same line: whoever is still part of his core remains deployable and receives protection from the staff.
