Feyenoord will play the last match of the calendar year on Wednesday evening. After saying goodbye to the Champions League against Celtic last week and winning the last league match against Heracles Almelo last weekend, the home match in the KNVB Cup against FC Utrecht is now just around the corner.
At the press conference, Arne Slot did not reveal much about his possible line-up. As is known, the trainer changes regularly and he sees that a number of players are no longer completely fit due to the busy schedule. Fatigue was also the reason why Igor Paixão has played fewer minutes than usual in recent matches. Javairô Dilrosun was allowed to start the kick-off against Heracles Almelo and he did a great job. The expectation is that he will also be able to show it in the cup match.
The Feyenoord coach was enthusiastic about his 25-year-old winger last weekend after the match he won. “I complimented him, and to a number of players who have to train with him as standard the day after the match, and to the staff members who have to give those training sessions. That it is very impressive that you don’t play for so long, and for so long You’ve been in a pretty hopeless situation.”
Furthermore, Slot seems to have no reason to change his team at kick-off. The Feyenoord coach once again stated how important he finds the cup tournament and that was also one of the arguments for starting Gernot Trauner and Mats Wieffer on the bench for the match against Celtic. As soon as the opportunity arises, Slot will make substitutions in the match to give players some rest before their holiday.
Probable line-up Feyenoord
Bijlow; Geertruida, Trauner, Hancko, Hartman; Wieffer, Timber, Stengs; Dilrosun, Gimenez, Ivanušec.
