Brussels assault shocks Belgian Union Sint-Gillis forward

Mohammed Fuseini, a 24‑year‑old Ghanaian forward for Belgian Union Sint‑Gillies, was the victim of a brutal street robbery on Sunday in Brussels; attackers violently dragged him from his car and stole his Rolex watch, and the Public Prosecutor's Office (OM) is now investigating the case.

Fuseini was parked in his car in Brussels when men wearing hoods approached him in daylight and attempted to seize his smartphone.

He resisted, but five assailants overpowered him; three held him in a grip while taking his Rolex Datejust, estimated at €8,000‑14,000.

A fourth attacker inspected Fuseini’s vehicle before the group released him and fled the scene.

He was rushed to hospital for treatment; police confirmed they have video footage and have referred the matter to the OM for further action.

Union issued a statement thanking the Brussels police, saying: „We zijn de Brusselse politie dankbaar voor de goeie hulp”.

Fuseini returned to Union’s training ground on Monday, with limited physical injury but visibly shaken by the ordeal.

The striker is a popular figure in the dressing room, having spent two years at Union after spells at Sturm Graz in Austria and Randers in Denmark, and his contract runs until 2028.

In 71 appearances for Union he has scored 14 goals, including the decisive strike in the cup final win over Anderlecht (3‑1) a few months ago, although an ankle injury in pre‑season cost him much of the campaign.
