Eupen tried after this goal, but another goal fell on the other side. Panic in Charleroi Monday: according to Sudpresse, Victor Osimhen had to leave the training injured after a duel with Stergos Marinos. He was hit on the shin and needed the help of the physiotherapists to leave the field. The medical staff has shown little optimism, so it is certainly possible that Osimhen, good for sixteen league goals this season, will miss the vital match of Wednesday against KV Kortrijk.
