Timing mishap leaves Ahoka doubts ahead of Genk clash

Antwerp coach Marvin Compper praised Jules Ahoka as a potential key player for the upcoming match against Genk, only for news minutes later to suggest the forward may be leaving the club, turning the trainer’s weekly press briefing into a badly timed controversy.

Compper’s endorsement came during the weekly press briefing ahead of the match against Genk, where he highlighted Ahoka’s recent performances and potential impact.

Within minutes, a separate source reported that Ahoka might be set to depart Antwerp, contradicting the coach’s optimism.

Timing of the leak

The proximity of the rumor to Compper’s comments meant the trainer’s message was quickly eclipsed, leaving fans and media to question the club’s communication strategy.

The sudden speculation has put additional pressure on Compper as he prepares his squad for the Genk encounter, with the forward’s future now uncertain.

Antwerp has not issued an official statement, so the situation will likely be clarified in the days leading up to the Genk match.
