Anderlecht head coach Brian Riemer believes the ability of Francis Amuzu on one-on-one situations cannot be replaced in the Anderlecht team because he is the best at that.
This statement follows the confirmation that the Belgium-Ghanaian winger will be sidelined for three and a half weeks due to a sports hernia.
The 22-year-old is expected to miss two upcoming games but is slated to return a week after the international break.
Riemer defended Amuzu, stating that his performances this season speak for themselves, countering past criticisms regarding his goal-scoring and assist contributions.
Riemer highlighted Amuzu's uniqueness, citing his rare combination of speed, explosiveness, and strength on the ball.
"Francis is a unique player. It's rare to find a player with his speed and explosiveness who is also strong on the ball. When he is fully fit, he will show what he can do this season. In the past, he was sometimes criticized for not scoring or providing assists frequently. This season, his statistics are good."
"We cannot replace a player like Francis one-to-one. Players like Angulo and Raman are also fast. But we also have Degreef, a very clever player who is good on the ball, and Flips, who is waiting for his breakthrough. For me, it's a matter of analyzing the team, the opponent, and what we need in that particular game."
The 24-year-old has scored 3 goals in 11 appearances in the Belgium Pro League, just five of them as a starter.
