Our U23 has also started the season. Although many youngsters were already working with the A-core, the (remaining) group has now started as good as complete under the guidance of Nicky Hayen. On Monday the traditional medicals were scheduled, Tuesday the ball feeling was regained at the first training session and next Friday Club NXT U23 will practice for the first time at KE Wervik.
For league soccer it is still waiting until mid-August so our U23 started the season a little later compared to the first team. Still, some ten youngsters already trained under Ronny Deila and also made minutes in a The NEST that was completely sold out.
The first practice match? That one is coming up on Friday on the field of K.E. Wervik. Furthermore, our U23 will be practicing against Knokke, HO Kalken, Lokeren-Temse, Jong AZ, among others. Discover the full calendar here.
