French-born Ghanaian defender Dennis Appiah has been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing a surgery to correct a persistent hernia injury.

Dennis who has been the most reliable right-back for Anderletch since joining them from French outfit Caen is set to miss their crucial playoffs campaign.

The Belgian club will now have to rely on Najar as replacement with Chipciu or Saelemaekers as alternatives to fill in the void.

He made 27 appearances for the purple and whites this season making six assists in the process.
