Roland Juhasz has become an essential player in the Purple & White defence. The 27-year-old Hungarian defender resumed group training last week and will probably start his sixth season in Brussels. Time for a chat with the likeable defender, then.

Among the new faces during the five-day training session in the Dutch Tegelen, is also the 18-year-old Amaury Mabika’s. Mabika - probably a new name to many of the Anderlecht fans - is a first-string player in the Purple & White U-21 team, where he is also captain from time to time. It’s time, then, to meet the likable U-21 player, who lives in Wezembeek-Oppem.

Romelu Lukaku is making history at Purple-White. The 16-year-old Sporting striker only made his first appearance in Anderlecht’s first team less than a year ago, but became the discovery of the year in the Belgian league. Lukaku played 25 times, 16 of which he started the match. He scored 15 goals and provided 5 assists. With those 15 goals, he crowned himself top scorer of the Jupiler Pro League 2009-2010. He is the youngest player ever to become top scorer.

Yesterday, Friday 11th September 2009, Anderlecht president Roger Vanden Stock talked to the press for the first time since the tragic match RSCA-Standard on Sunday 30th August 2009, during which both Jan Polak and Marcin Wasilewski received heavy injuries. "I was tremendously disappointed that night, this was the first time I have ever left a mach before the final whistle, that is just how mad and disappointed I was", Vanden Stock said. "But I am not vindictive and I am now reaching out to Standard. Let’s turn over a new leaf and wipe the slate clean."

Cheikhou Kouyaté is back, after having played for Courtrai for one year, he returned to Sporting Anderlecht at the start of the season 2009-2010. Although a fracture of the cheekbone threatened to throw a spanner in the works during the preparation period, the 19-year-old Senegalese midfielder is fit and ready to show what he has got to offer.

After having trained for six days in the Austrian Neustift, RSCA return to Brussels today - Sunday 12th July 2009. In addition to train, Anderlecht also played two friendly games during this training session: against Zenit Saint Petersburg and Slovan Liberec. Tom De Sutter scored during those games and also scored during training. RSCA.be had a short conversation with him before the final practice match on his opinion on the training session, his shape and his prospects for the future.

Cristophe Diandy is one of the four youngsters - in addition to Mukendi, Lukaku and Boufleur - who received the opportunity to take part in RSCA’s training session in Austria. Diandy is an 18-year-old Senegalese midfielder, who has only been in Belgium for six months, but was able to quickly convince the RSCA staff and signed a five-season contract with Sporting in March.

Lucas Biglia returned to the Astridpark somewhat later than his teammates, because he went down with the flue in Argentina. In the meantime, the midfielder has recovered completely and he is present at the training session in Austria. The Argentinian talked exclusively to RSCA.be about his bond with Anderlecht, his recent fatherhood and his future.

Romelu Lukaku is one of Sporting Anderlecht’s most promising young players. The 16-year-old striker signed his first professional contract with RSCA - one of his most precious football memories, for that matter - and is also present at the summer training session in Austria this week. RSCA.be had a conversation with the forward, who combines football and school.

Anderlecht are training in the Austrian Neustift. Reynaldo Dos Santos Silva is also present. The 19-year-old Brazilian was a regular member of the U21 team last season and, during the preparatory practice games this season, he showed his class with the A-team. Time to meet the young Brazilian midfielder.
