Head coach of KAA Gent, Hein Vanhaezebrouck believes Gift Orban will soon return to his best.

Orban was named among the substitutes for the clash against Genk over the weekend, but came on after 30 minutes because defender Ismaël Kandouss left the pitch injured.

He was unable to influence the game, but Vanhaezebrouck is full of praise for the Nigerian.

“He came on well, made a great effort and created danger,” Het Nieuwsblad quotes Vanhaezebrouck.

Vanhaezebrouck also gave his opinion on Orban’s missed opportunity from a long ball from Matisse Samoise.

“An Orban in top form uses one touch and scores with a volley. But I am satisfied with his appearance,” said Vanhaezebrouck.

“He should have a positive feeling about this match and everything will be fine in the future,” the Gent coach concluded.

Gift Orban has just two goals in eight Belgian Jupiler league games this season.
