Feyenoord is careful with Justin Bijlow. Trainer Arne Slot says that the goalkeeper is making progress in his recovery, but that it is not yet known when Bijlow can join the match selection. Bijlow’s hand is not yet fully loaded during the training sessions.
“Bijlow has been released from the cast, but then it’s about how your hand holds up to certain resistance,” says Slot at the press conference. That also needs to be rebuilt. It’s not like when you’re out of the cast, you can do everything again right away. You have to build that up in phases, because you don’t want to get that ball right away again.”
Feyenoord is taking its time with its recovery. “That is a phased build-up and he is working on it. We hope in the short term that he can do goalkeeper work again. So far it has been limited to playing along with his feet. The moment he starts doing something with his hands again, there has to be a build-up. We hope it won’t take too long.”
The Marks
Patrik Walemark suffered an injury to his upper leg. Slot says that Walemark can quickly reconnect. He has been training fully since this week. He has been out for a long time, so I don’t know if he will be present at the game right away. It’s another extra player that we can use during the final phase of the season.”
Idrissi
Oussama Idrissi cannot play against Sparta Rotterdam due to a suspension. Slot does not yet announce who will replace the winger in the starting eleven. ”Oussama is not participating, so the choice is between Paixão and Dilrosun. You will see who it will be on Sunday.”
