Schalke 04 target benched against OH Leuven after failing to show up for training | OneFootball

As reported by Sacha Tavolieri, Standard Liege midfielder William Balikwisha was benched for the game against OH Leuven after not showing up for training on Friday. Tavolieri reports that Ivan Leko had planned an important session for the game against OH Leuven but the young midfielder did not turn up. Balikwisha has been the subject of interest from Schalke 04, who want to sign the player if they remain in 2. Bundesliga.

Standard’s poor season continued with a 3-1 defeat to OH Leuven away from home. The DRC international was introduced at half-time during the defeat to OH Leuven. Standard have not won a single game during the play-offs as their terrible season comes to an end. This summer is a huge moment for the club who need a big rebuild, but under owners 777 it looks unlikely that there will be a large amount of spending during the 2024 summer transfer window.
