Bjorn Engels
31-Year-Old 
 Royal Antwerp
                     
                  Available as substitute
Engels (Achilles) was included in the match-day squad versus Porto on Wednesday.
                  ANALYSIS
Engels started 16 of his 17 Jupiler Pro League appearances last season, so he should at least be in contention for a spot in the starting XI once he is back to 100 percent. Still, the center-back has yet to get onto the pitch this season, so fantasy players should expect him to ease into more minutes.
