Arsenal Christos Tzolis misses Club Brugge's Heerenveen game

Club Brugge will be without Arsenal Christos Tzolis for tonight’s match against Heerenveen, as the 24‑year‑old has already played his final minute for the Belgian side and his record‑breaking move to Arsenal is now virtually confirmed. The decision leaves the midfield depleted and forces the coach to reshuffle the lineup. Hij heeft zijn laatste minuut voor Club Brugge gespeeld. The 24‑year‑old midfielder will therefore not feature again for the Belgian side. Consequently, he will not be listed on the bench for tonight’s encounter with Heerenveen. The coaching staff must adjust their midfield options without him.

Arsenal and Brugge near Belgian record with Tzolis deal in Belgium

The move to Arsenal is described as a record transfer for the London club. All parties consider the deal virtually sealed. In addition, three players from the Belgian national team, the Rode Duivels, are also unavailable. Their absence further reduces the options for Club Brugge.
