Due to the bad series, Feyenoord has come to realize the importance of the competition and that means that Ueda and Anel Ahmedhodžić will be spared for the cracker against PSV next Sunday.
For Ueda, the question remains whether the striker will be fit in time for Sunday. The medical staff is doing everything they can to get him to start in Eindhoven. Ueda would be keen to score in the top match.
Strikers and defenders
Robin van Persie has access to Casper Tengstedt and Shaqueel van Persie in Seville. Tengstedt has not played 90 minutes yet this season and that makes it likely that both players will see action.
Feyenoord is struggling with many injuries and Van Persie has to figure things out especially defensively. In addition to the first mentioned, Tsuyoshi Watanabe, Givairo Read, Gernot Trauner, Gijs Smal, Malcolm Jeng and Thomas Beelen are also unavailable.
