Bill Antonio tore his cruciate ligament in the game against Cercle Brugge, and will not play again this season. He faces a rehabilitation period of 6 to 9 months. Good luck and a speedy recovery, Bill.<\/p>\n

Antoni (21), was promoted to the senior team this season and quickly became a regular in the first XI.<\/p>\n

He made his debut in the Belgian Pro League on 05 November 2023 in a match against Standard Liege that ended 1-1.<\/p>\n

He was introduced in the 84th and went on to play a total of 14 minutes, including the added time.<\/p>\n

The former Dynamos winger was rewarded with a new three-year contract last week.<\/p>\n
