Former Werder star Thomas Delaney has already missed 13 games for Anderlecht this season.
His coach is relieved, as he knows about the Dane's qualities.
Anderlecht – Thomas Delaney is familiar with injury-related setbacks.
Probably even better than he would like.
Thomas Delaney has been repeatedly injured since leaving Werder
Since his move from Werder Bremen to Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2018, which brought a whopping 20 million euros into SVW's coffers and made Delaney the second most expensive departure after Mesut Özil, the Dane has regularly had to struggle with health problems.
According to the transfermarkt.de
portal,
the now 32-year-old missed 59 games for his respective club and the national team.
Sometimes the calf pinched, then it was a torn ankle ligament or a broken collarbone that forced Delaney to take a break.

Comeback after more than two months: Anderlecht can rely on Thomas Delaney again
Most recently, a knee operation put the former midfield engine of the Hanseatic city team, who is currently on loan from FC Sevilla at RSC Anderlecht, out of action.
At the end of February he was back in the RSC squad against FC Bruges for the first time since December, and he finally celebrated his six-minute return to the pitch on March 3rd against KAS Eupen.
One might almost say against his ex-coach from his time in Bremen, of all places.
Florian Kohfeldt has been on the sidelines for the East Belgians since the beginning of the current season, under whom Delaney was a regular and developed into one of the most consistent midfielders in the Bundesliga.
