Goalkeeper Daniel Iversen and forward Josh Eppiah - also on season-long loans in Leuven - did not feature for Brys' men through injury.
Centre-back Darnell Johnson, meanwhile, made his full debut for Wigan Athletic in a 1-0 home win for the Latics over Doncaster Rovers in Sky Bet League 1 on Saturday.
Joe Garner's second-half goal was enough to settle a tight encounter at the DW Stadium as Wigan climbed to 10th in the third tier of English football.
Academy graduate Johnson could feature again for John Sheridan's side when they host Port Vale in the EFL Trophy group stage on Tuesday evening (7pm kick-off).
Finally, striker George Hirst also made his third appearance for Rotherham United in a 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town in the Championship on Saturday.
