According to Hayen, the gap left by Vermant will not be filled by another seasoned professional, but instead by a bold move: promoting a 19-year-old academy product who is preparing to make his long-awaited senior debut.
“This is football. Sometimes injuries bring opportunities,” Hayen told reporters. “The young lad has shown great promise in training, and now he has the chance to prove himself at the highest level.”
While fans were left disappointed by the timing of Vermant’s injury, the unexpected call-up has also sparked excitement. Brugge supporters are eager to see the next generation step into the spotlight, continuing the club’s proud tradition of developing young stars.
The 19-year-old midfielder, though untested in senior competition, is regarded within the academy as a technically gifted, hard-working player who could surprise many with his composure under pressure.
With key fixtures looming, Club Brugge faces a balancing act between chasing results and integrating fresh talent. If the youngster can adapt quickly, this moment of crisis could turn into a breakthrough story—one that fans and the club will remember for years to come.
For now, the message is clear: despite the hot defeat of losing Vermant, Club Brugge is ready to embrace change and put its faith in youth.
