The attackers overpowered him before fleeing with his valuables, including a Rolex estimated to be worth between €8,000 and €14,000.
Fuseini was taken to the hospital for medical checks following the incident. Fortunately, he did not suffer serious physical injuries and was able to return to training with his club on Monday, July 27.
Belgian police have since arrested two of the five suspects, while efforts continue to identify and apprehend the remaining three.
The Public Prosecution Service has opened an investigation into the robbery, with Union St. Gilloise also issuing a statement after the incident. The club wrote, as cited by De Telegraaf:
“Mohamed Fuseini went to the hospital for a check-up afterwards and received good care from the Brussels police, whom we thank for their good work. Physically, the damage is not too serious; he trained as usual again yesterday [July 27, 2026].”
