Injury problems are piling up at Feyenoord. The Rotterdam team did not emerge unscathed from the match against Ajax. In addition to Ayase Ueda, Givairo Read also emerged from the battle with the arch-rival. The talented right back is a doubt for the match against AZ on Saturday evening.
This is what it reports Algemeen Dagblad. The possible absence of Read is offset by the return of Bart Nieuwkoop. The 28-year-old defender made his return against Ajax and is ready for a starting place against AZ. Due to an injury, Nieuwkoop was sidelined for 45 days in the past period and therefore missed nine Feyenoord matches.
In any case, Feyenoord will not have Quilindschy Hartman, Santiago Gimenez, Calvin Stengs and Ayase Ueda at its disposal against AZ. There is a question mark behind the names of Read and Jordan Lotomba. The latter suffered a hamstring injury in Lisbon, but last week it became clear that Lotomba is recovering faster than expected. The question at the moment is whether he will make it to AZ.
Also injuries at AZ
There are not only injuries at Feyenoord, AZ is also struggling with some absentees. This week it has become clear that defensive midfielder Kristijan Belic will not be available for several weeks. Belic has to miss the match in De Kuip. Wouter Goes has been training again since this week, but it is unclear whether he will be available against Feyenoord. He had to stop training early on Thursday.
Ruben van Bommel is a doubt for the match against Feyenoord. Former Feyenoord player Bruno Martins Indi is not fully training with the group and is therefore absent. Ibrahim Sadiq, Zico Buurmeester and Lequincio Zeefuik will not be available this weekend. Feyenoord and AZ will kick off at De Kuip on Saturday evening at 9 p.m.
