“As soon as more information is available about Beelen’s situation, the club will announce this,” the Rotterdam club communicates through its own channels. “We wish Thomas a successful operation and a lot of strength and strength in his recovery.”

The game between Feyenoord and the Belgians was stopped after Beelen screamed with opponent Helio Varela after a collision with the pain. It immediately became clear on the field that it was serious. The player was shielded with cloths and the players of both KAA Gent and Feyenoord left the field. After about twenty minutes the game was resumed. Feyenoord coach Robin van Persie indicated after the game that he had asked his players if they wanted to continue playing or not.

The competition had started spectacularly before that. After a goal in the second minute of the Belgians, it was still Sem Steijn within fifteen minutes who was able to tap the equalizer for Van Persie’s team. In the last quarter – the game consisted of four times 30 minutes – Ghent struck again, with which it secured the practice profit.

Hajj Moussa, Paixao and Hancko

Anis Hadj Moussa missed the exhibition game on Saturday. The right winger has sustained a slight injury and got rest. “He might play but we don’t want to take a risk with him,” Van Persie said on the media channel of his club before the game. Igor Paixao and David Hancko were also missing at Feyenoord. “Igor recovers from an injury in Brazil,” said Van Persie. “And Hancko is completing his transfer to Al-Nassr.”

The 27-year-old Hancko is going to play football with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. Feyenoord is going to get more money for him than for Santiago Gimenez, who left for AC Milan for a club record of 35 million euros at the beginning of this year.
