Antwerp loses midfielder Ondrejka on loan
Jacob Ondrejka, the 23-year-old midfielder of Antwerp, has been loaned to FC Groningen. The Swedish player previously played for Antwerp and scored 12 goals in 55 games.
Ondrejka joined Antwerp in the summer of 2023 and played a season and a half for the club. He scored 12 goals and provided 7 assists. Midway through his second season, he was called up to play for Parma in Serie A.
In Italy, Ondrejka played 12 games for Parma and scored 5 goals. He had a decent return, but in the previous season, he played only 17 games for Parma and failed to score or provide an assist.
Ondrejka still has a contract with Parma until 2029, but a move to Groningen could help him rediscover his form.
Why is this important for Antwerp?
The loan of Ondrejka is important for Antwerp because the club now has a shortage of midfielders. The 23-year-old player was an important player for the club, and his absence will be missed.
What comes next?
Antwerp will have to search for a new midfielder to fill the position of Ondrejka. The club has a few games to find a new player before the season continues.
Current standing
Antwerp is currently in 5th place in the Jupiler Pro League, with 3 points and 1 win in 1 game. The club has a positive start and will have to see if they can maintain this form.
Next fixture
Antwerp plays against Kortrijk on 13 February 2027 at the Kasteel van Antwerpen.
