Three Twente players likely to miss Friday’s crucial clash against PSV due to injury

FC Twente take on PSV Eindhoven this Friday in a huge Eredivisie clash between 1st and 5th place in the table. Peter Bosz’s PSV are on a fine five-game winning streak across all competitions, while Twente have won just two of their last five games. On Thursday, Twente head coach Joseph Oosting revealed that three pivotal players are doubts for the big game.

Lars Unnerstall, Ricky van Wolfswinkel and Anass Salah-Eddine are all unlikely to travel to the Philips Stadion. The club are set to make late fitness calls on the trio. After revealing the injury news, Oosting went on to deliver his pre-match thoughts. ‘A nice challenge awaits against a very good team. We will see if against a top team like PSV we can continue the line against Go Ahead Eagles, especially how we started in the first few minutes.’

‘If we play with guts when in possession, we have a team that can get something against anyone. PSV is dominant on the ball and puts good pressure. Furthermore, PSV have weapons up front with speed and good individual action. We will have to get it right in all lines.’
