Anderlecht’s CEO of Sports, Jesper Fredberg, has praised Ghanaian midfielder Majeed Ashimeru for his exceptional skills but expressed frustration over his recurring injury problems.

Ashimeru endured another challenging season in Belgium, with injuries limiting him to just six appearances. His troubles began with a muscle injury, followed by a leg injury mid-season, and another combination of muscle and leg injuries later on, causing the 26-year-old to miss a total of 154 days.

“He has something that few players have: he plays football directly and vertically. Unfortunately, he is out of action too often. His contract expires at the end of next season, and we are looking at his situation,” Fredberg said.

Fredberg’s comments highlight Ashimeru’s potential and the significant impact he could have when fit. Despite his injury struggles, Ashimeru’s direct and vertical style of play makes him a valuable asset to the team when available. Ashimeru joined Anderlecht in 2021, and his current contract runs until 2025.

As Anderlecht evaluates Ashimeru’s situation, the club remains hopeful that he can overcome his injury issues and contribute significantly in the upcoming seasons.
