Can't we just say 'le prochain'?

The question:

Jeudi, elle a un rendez-vous. Tu veux dire ce jeudi ou ________ ?
I filled in 'le prochain', but was marked as wrong. I get that Kwiziq is trying to teach this lesson in particular but doesn't this also work? 

Thanks

This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing "the day after/the day before" in French with "demain/hier" vs "le lendemain/la veille" vs "le jour suivant/le jour précédent" (French Expressions of Time)"

In French you usually use the weekday followed by prochain. Just saying le prochain is not standard.

But "jeudi prochain" is also marked as wrong. The answer, according to that question, is "le jeudi d'après", so the question remains: why can't we use prochain here?
