Mario Stroeykens regains prominence at RSC Anderlecht

Mario Stroeykens is reclaiming a central role at RSC Anderlecht following a difficult start to the season caused by injury. The Congolese international delivered a standout performance during Anderlecht’s 4-1 victory against Westerlo on October 31, 2026.

Stroeykens, playing in midfield, scored a significant goal with a strike into the top corner and was named man of the match. Since returning to competition on October 10, 2026, he has started five of the last six matches for the club.

Anderlecht coach Vitor Bruno expressed satisfaction with the player’s recovery, noting that Stroeykens had struggled significantly earlier in the season. His improved form may also influence his prospects for a return to the DR Congo national team, as he has not appeared in a match for the Leopards since November 2025.
