Van Bommel & Schouten: PSV vs NEC Preview & Orange Duel Focus

Bosz indicates that against NEC only Mauro Junior and Alassane Pléa cannot be used due to injuries and the rest. The late entrants Myron Boadu and Anass Salah-Eddine are ready to make their appearance in the competition selection for the first time.

Both Ricardo Pepi, who is back on the road after a knee injury, and Boadu cannot yet be fully deployed. ,, We have two strikers, but they are both not completely fit. I can appeal to them, but they can’t play a whole game yet, “says Bosz, who leaves in the middle whether one of them is fit enough to start.

What does Bosz say about Pepi, Boadu and Schouten?

,, The situation is very different. He comes in with a backlog. That is not so much a conditional disadvantage, but he did not train with a group.Everyone who played football knows that you have to take steps. He has been training with the group for two weeks now and makes big steps quickly. With Pepi the weather is different. pepi is on the way back after a long -term knee injury and has to get faith in his knee again. ”

The lesser match by Jerdy Schouten in the Oranje-shirt against Lithuania has not gone unnoticed at Bosz. ,,That indeed has my attention. Maybe a little more than with another player. Then you sit down, drink a cup of coffee and talk to each other. ”
