Club Brugge Squad Update: Vermant Injured, Tzolis Linked with Palace, Diakhon Debuts
Bruges, Belgium — September 7, 2025
Club Brugge’s Champions League campaign continues to make headlines, but the squad faces a mix of setbacks and opportunities as the international break approaches.
Romeo Vermant Sidelined Forward Romeo Vermant, who netted a crucial goal in the first leg of Brugge’s dominant play-off against Rangers, has been ruled out with a muscle injury. Club medical staff confirmed he will miss all fixtures until after the international break, dealing a blow to Brugge’s attacking depth just as the group stage looms.
Transfer Rumors Swirl Around Tzolis Winger Christos Tzolis may be on the verge of a Premier League move, with Crystal Palace reportedly expressing strong interest. The 23-year-old Greek international has impressed scouts with his pace and creativity, and negotiations are said to be underway. Brugge have yet to comment officially, but sources close to the club suggest a deal could materialize before the transfer window closes.
Diakhon Makes Debut New signing Mamadou Diakhon made his first appearance for Club Brugge, coming on as a late substitute in the second leg against Rangers. Though his time on the pitch was brief, fans were eager to catch a glimpse of the 19-year-old forward, who arrived from Ligue 2 side Caen earlier this summer. His integration into the squad will be closely watched in the coming weeks.
With Brugge riding high after their emphatic 9–1 aggregate victory over Rangers, the club now turns its attention to squad management and tactical refinement ahead of the Champions League group stage draw.
