The workforce for Gent vs Dynamo Kiev
Gent is still without rookie Alexandre De Bruyn (ex St-Trond) this week. Also, the frames Giorgi Chakvetadze (elongation), Laurent Depoitre (foot), and Sven Kums (calf) are uncertain. Mute since the start of the season, German striker Kleindiest is struggling to find his feet under his new colors.
Dynamo Kyiv is a priori still deprived of defender Burda (injured) and striker Besedin (suspended for doping), two Ukrainian internationals. Scorer twice since the start of the championship, the young Ukrainian Supriaga (20 years old and back on loan after a very good season with Dnipro) should logically occupy the forefront of the attack and be supported by the important winger’s De Pena and Tsygankov.
