But while coach Ivan Leko has never hidden his fear of not seeing Vanheusden again this season, the 24-year-old is expected to return to team training next week.
Determined, he even hopes to be able to play a few minutes before the end of the season, knowing that there are four European playoff matches remaining.
If he can play even once, Vanheusden will reach the symbolic mark of 100 matches played for Standard. A milestone he dreams of before, undoubtedly, returning to Inter Milan. Because the option included in his loan (around 7 million euros) is unpayable as it stands for Standard.
