PSV Faces Challenges Ahead of Fortuna Sittard Match

PSV will face Fortuna Sittard on Saturday evening at 20:00 without wingback Sergiño Dest. The American player was substituted at halftime during the cup match against FC Den Bosch (1-4) and is not fit enough to participate in the upcoming fixture.

Dest’s absence will be felt as the team travels to Limburg, while Dennis Man remains a doubt for the match. Coach Bosz provided an update during Friday’s press conference, stating, “The injury is very minor; however, the match against Fortuna Sittard comes too soon. We will assess his condition on a day-to-day basis to determine if he will be available for the match against Newcastle United.”

In light of Dest’s uncertainty, the potential availability of Anass Salah-Eddine for the upcoming Newcastle match could provide a significant boost. Salah-Eddine is set to play for Morocco in the Africa Cup final on Sunday, with a potential celebration scheduled for Monday. “Bas (Roorda, the team manager) is handling that situation. I will connect with him after the tournament. He has participated in the initial matches, but not the subsequent ones, so I need to evaluate his status first.”
