Zaid Romero, aged 25, is not included in the selection, with reports suggesting that Santos is considering offering him a temporary escape after just a year at Club Brugge. Hayen has previously overlooked the Argentine for strictly sporting reasons, and now it appears likely that Romero will exit as Santos seeks to provide an alternative for the defender. This potential transfer is occurring as Club Brugge prepares for a challenging match against AA Gent, underlining the club's diminishing defensive options. Romero's contract is valid until 2028, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value at €3.00m. Besides Santos, Racing Club has also been associated with the defender.
