PSV will decide on Monday whether there will be a replacement for Ricardo Pepi. That’s what it writes Eindhovens Dagblad. The American striker of the Eindhoven team broke his forearm during the match against Excelsior.
“It is expected that PSV will make a decision on Monday whether they will actually actively search for an attacker,” writes PSV watcher Rik Elfrink after the news of Pepi’s new injury. “Such a newcomer must be immediately employable and able to provide immediate added value, and it seems logical that PSV is considering a rental construction,” the newspaper continues.
It became clear earlier that it was a broken arm. The injury requires a recovery period of six to eight weeks, but according to the regional newspaper, Pepi is aiming for a faster recovery. He would like to be back on the field at the beginning of March. This makes the American the third PSV striker to be injured. Previously, Alassane Pléa and Myron Boadu had also been absent for a long time.
In the 23rd minute, Pepi scored his eighth league goal of the season, but after the ball rolled over the line, he was left battered on the grass. He was substituted immediately afterwards. PSV easily won the game 5-1 on Saturday evening.
