Blauw-Zwart once again heads to sunny Spain where it will prepare for the second half of the season. On the schedule for this winter training camp are six intensive training days, rounded off with a friendly against FC Nürnberg.
On Thursday, January 4, the group left Ostend in the morning for Malaga. From there, they went by bus to Marbella, where training will take place in Dama de Noche, just like in 2022. An intensive week of training awaits coach Ronny Deila's troops with a team building activity. There will be two training sessions almost every day and those sessions will be open to supporters staying in Marbella.
The coach selected 29 players for this winter training camp: Simon Mignolet, Josef Bursik, Nordin Jackers, Nick Shinton, Joel Ordóñez, Bjorn Meijer, Brandon Mechele, Maxim De Cuyper, Jorne Spileers, Dedryck Boyata, Kyriani Sabbe, Joaquin Seys, Amine Et Taïbi, Bi Abdoul Yameogo, Éder Balanta, Casper Nielsen, Hugo Vetlesen, Hans Vanaken, Laurens Goemaere, Andreas Skov Olsen, Michał Skóraś, Antonio Nusa, Shion Homma, Chemsdine Talbi, Philip Zinckernagel, Ferran Jutglà, Víctor Barberá, Igor Thiago and Alejandro Granados.
