“We showed last week that we are capable of good football. In this situation too ”, Schmidt looked back on, among other things, the victory at Omonia Nicosia. “Still, it will be difficult here and we will have to be our best to get a result. We now play two duels against PAOK. If whoever wins them, we have a good chance of reaching the knockout phase. ”
Pablo Rosario is back in the squad after a previous infection. The midfielder tested negative on Monday. Schmidt: „It is very important in this situation that players return. We miss a lot and Pablo is an important player, but he only trained for the first time with the team today and we need to see how fit he is and how he is doing for tomorrow. ”
PSV still misses captain Denzel Dumfries, Cody Gakpo, Nick Viergever, Timo Baumgartl and Jorrit Hendrix against PAOK. Schmidt: „We cannot say when players will be available again. When you test negative again differs per person. Fortunately, they have no real symptoms and can immediately join the group training and the match selection as soon as they are allowed to again. But when it is, it differs per individual. ”
The Eindhoven team previously lost to Granada in the Europa League and beat Omonia Nicosia.
