PSV without Driouech, important duo doubtful

Voetbal International reports that PSV will be without Couhaib Driouech against Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday evening. The attacker was injured in training and will have to miss the Champions League match. Luuk de Jong and Noa Lang are also doubtful.

At the press conference leading up to the match, coach Peter Bosz gave a medical update. He said that Driouech will not be in the team as, “He left the training field injured and will not be there.” PSV will have to wait and see how serious the injury is.

Bosz also discussed the availability of De Jong and Lang. The duo had to watch the match against FC Groningen last weekend due to injuries.

“I don’t know yet whether Luuk de Jong is available. He trained partially yesterday, perhaps the entire training today. We will decide after that. The same applies to Noa as to Luuk, we will see whether he can train with us today.”

Joey Veerman was another player covered by the manager, although he won’t be ready for the Shakhtar game:

“(He) is training again, which is positive, but he is not in the group for tomorrow, that match comes much too early.”
