Anderlecht has been hit with a setback as Ghanaian midfielder Majeed Ashimeru faces an extended period on the sidelines.

The club announced on Tuesday that Ashimeru is struggling with a serious calf injury, the severity of which could potentially end his season.

The 26-year-old midfielder was forced to leave the pitch during last weekend's match against Union due to the injury. The club's medical staff is currently evaluating the extent of his absence, with the possibility of him returning during the playoffs still uncertain.

Ashimeru has been a valuable contributor to Anderlecht this season, featuring in 12 games in the Belgian Pro League. His injury comes at a crucial time, with Anderlecht currently sitting second in the league table with 43 points after 37 games.

The club and its supporters will be hoping for a swift recovery for Ashimeru, but the medical staff is taking a cautious approach to his rehabilitation.

The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether the Ghanaian midfielder will be able to make a comeback this season.
