Bernard Kumordzi begins pre-season training with Kortrijk

The former Dijon enforcer hit the gym last month to begin his recovery before he was confirmed fit to join his team-mates in their pre-season training camp.

Goalkeepers: Thomas Kaminski, Sebastien Bruzzese and newcomer Jarno De Smet, defenders Youcef Attal, Bennard Kumordzi, Gary Kagelmacher and Kristof D'Haene, midfielder Larry Azouni, Christophe Lepoint, Hannes Van Der Bruggen, Jovan Stojanovic, Elohim Rolland, Medjon Hoxha, Tyron Ivanof and strikers Idir Ouali and Teddy Chevalier. They were supplemented with that tester and youth products Seppe Gantois and Jarne Jodts. Anthony Van Loo, who is undergoing heart surgery next week, was present, but stayed inside.

On Saturday, the club will play its first training match against second-tier side Bissegem.

Kumordzi scored one goal in 27 league appearances in the Belgian Jupiler League last term and will be expected to keep up with the same level of performance when the league starts.
