Hugo Bueno was injured last Saturday in the away match against Go Ahead Eagles (1-5). The Spanish left back left the field after more than an hour of play with a painful heel, and was replaced by Gijs Smal. It is said that it will be a race against time for Bueno to be fit in time for the midweek meeting with Benfica SL.
In Deventer, Bueno’s disappointment dripped from his face. The 22-year-old defender, who was hired from Wolverhampton Wanderers, had just returned from an earlier injury and played very well in Deventer until his forced substitution. “Hopefully it won’t be too bad. That will have to be determined in the coming days,” Feyenoord coach Brian Priske responded immediately after the game. The loss of Bueno would mean a loss. With Gijs Smal, the Danish coach still has one left back left, as Quilindschy Hartman is also still recovering from a serious injury.
According to Rijnmond, Bueno’s availability for the Champions League will be a race against time. The regional medium reports that it is in any case a short-term injury. Feyenoord will play Benfica in Lisbon next Wednesday at 9:00 PM.
