Injuries and lineups: this is how your favorite premier league club is doing in the run-up to round 28 | Dutch football

Details FC Groningen: Defender Thijmen Blokzijl injured his ankle against Fortuna Sittard and has been sidelined for weeks.
Absent: Abraham, Blokzijl, Bech Sorensen.
Probable lineup: Verrips; Van Gelderen, Chalus, Balker, Willems; Suslov, Hove, Irandust; Määttä, Pepi, Antman.

Details FC Utrecht: Vasilis Barkas will be under the bar again tonight at FC Utrecht. The Greek goalkeeper was absent against FC Volendam last Sunday due to illness. Zakaria Labyad and Can Bozdogan are missing from the match selection against the number seventeen of the Eredivisie.
Absent: Labyad (sick), Bozdogan (injured).
Probable lineup: bark; Klaiber, Van der Hoorn, Viergever, Hendriks; Toornstra, Van de Streek, Brewers; Booth, Douvikas, Ramselaar.

Details Vitesse: Chris van der Weerden is on the bench against Go Ahead Eagles as head coach of Vitesse, now that Phillip Cocu is recovering from an appendectomy. He sticks to the playing style of the Arnhem club. Maximilian Wittek (after suspension) and Matus Bero (flu) return to the Eredivisionist.
Absent: Davy Pröpper (knee).
Probable lineup: sharpen; Oroz, Isimat-Mirin, Arcus, Wittek; Meulensteen, Van Ginkel, Tronstad; Bero, Manhoef, Kozlowski.

Details Go Ahead Eagles: Go Ahead Eagles coach René Hake lost all four of his matches against Vitesse in the Eredivisie as a trainer: with FC Twente (5-1 and 3-1) and FC Utrecht (1-0 and 2-1). Gelredome is the only stadium where Hake has never scored a point in the premier league.
Absent: no.
Probable lineup: The long; Deijl, Amofa, Idzes, Oppegard; Llansana, Rommens, Adekanye, Willumsson; Lidberg, Stokers.

Details AZ: Jesper Karlsson and Vangelis Pavlidis are still in doubt for the match against Sparta. They were both substituted in the last game against Heerenveen. Maxim Dekker is expected back soon.
Absent: Martins Indi (knee), Westerveld (knee), D. de Wit (foot), Dekker.
Doubtful cases: Pavlidis, Carlsson.
Probable lineup: Ryan, Sugawara, Hatzidiakos, Beukema, Kerkez; Reijnders, Mijnans, Clasie; Odgaard, Pavlidis, Van Brederode.

Details Sparta: Sparta has not won once against a club in the left row this season. The balance against teams from the right row, on the other hand, is astonishing: no premier league club has better figures in that area than Sparta. The Spaniards have never lost a game on a Saturday evening under trainer Maurice Steijn (eleven wins, three draws).
Absent: De Guzman (injured)
Probable lineup: olive oil; Sambo, Vriends, Eerdhuijzen, Pinto; Van Mullem, Kitolano, Verschueren; Van Crooij, Lauritsen, Saito.

Details PSV: In the race for second place, PSV should not make a mistake in the home game against Excelsior, says Ruud van Nistelrooij. He seems to opt for Olivier Boscagli again in the base, as a central defender. Last week against NEC, he emphatically applied for more playing time in Van Nistelrooij’s formation. Walter Benitez is back from injury and standing immediately back on target at PSV.
Absent: Obispo, Mauro Junior, Fofana, Mwene.
Probable lineup: Benítez; Teze, Ramalho, Boscagli, Van Aanholt; Sangaré, Til, Veerman; Bakayoko, De Jong, Simons.

Details Excelsior: Excelsior visits PSV with a five-man defense. Ajax mercenary Kik Pierie makes his debut on behalf of the team from Rotterdam. The winter acquisition has been struggling with injuries in recent weeks. Marouan Azarkan is missing due to minor groin complaints.
Absent: Jacky Donkor (knee), Maxime Awoudja (hamstring), Vicente Besuijen (hamstring injury), Adrian Fein (hamstring injury), Marouan Azarkan (groin).
Probable lineup: Van Gassel; Horemans, Nieuwpoort, El Yaakoubi, Pierie, Zagré; Koopmeiners, Boss, Goldmine; Driouch, Lamprou.

Details Heerenveen: Goalkeeper Andries Noppert will soon be operated on for a groin injury. Possible his season is already over.
Absent: Van Beek, Noppert, Van Aken.
Expected lineup: mousse; Van Ewijk, Van Ottele, Bochniewicz, Köhlert; Tahiri, Haye, Van Amersfoort; Sahraoui, Van Hooijdonk, Olsson.

Details Volendam: Only Robert Mühren is a doubt for the match against Heerenveen. In the cup tournament, Volendam was eliminated by Heerenveen this season.
Doubtful case: Muhren.
Probable lineup: Stankovic; Neighbour, Mirani, Flint, Mbuyamba, Murkin; Eiting, Sanchez, Twigt; VanMieghem, Oristanio.

Details FC Twente: Robin Pröpper has recovered from his pneumonia and returns to the team. Matthias Kjölö is also fit again. The Norwegian midfielder was out of action with a broken jaw.
Absent: Sadilek, Hilgers, Ugalde.
Probable lineup: Unnerstall; Brenet, Pleguezuelo, Pröpper, Smal; Zerrouki, Salah-Eddine, Vlap; Cerny, Van Wolfswinkel, Misidjan.

Specialties Cambuur: Cambuur will play against FC Twente with the same eleven as against FC Emmen. Perhaps Roberts Uldrikis will still join the match selection.
Absent: Van der Water, Gullit, Maulun.
Probable lineup: Rider; Schmidt, Toll, Smand, Bangura; Van Kaam, Hoedemakers, Foor; Breij, Johnsen, Paulissen.

Details FC Emmen: Mark Diemers was ill last week, so it is uncertain whether he can play on Sunday. On the other hand, trainer Dick Lukkien has midfielders Jari Vlak and Lucas Bernadou again.
Absent: Kieftenbeld, Lieder, Hardeveld, Guclü, Mendes.
Probable lineup: Van der Hart; Te Wierik, Araujo, Veldmate, Burnet; Veendorp, Flat, El Messaoudi; Romeny, Zivkovic, Antonisse.

NEC specifics: NEC cannot have the injured Oussama Tannane and Calvin Verdonk and the suspended Ivan Márquez against FC Emmen. Tannane sustained a tear in his hamstring against PSV. The midfielder is not yet on the training field, but he is recovering well and may be there again next week in the Gelderland derby against Vitesse.
Absent: Tannane, Márquez, Verdonk, Roefs, De Wolf.
Probable lineup: Cillessen; Van Rooij, Sandler, Kramer, El Karouani; Clean, Clean, Bruijn; Tavsan, Dimata, Mattson.

Ajax specifics: John Heitinga did not expect to have Mohammed Kudus after reaching the cup final against Fortuna. The tastemaker sustained a muscle injury in De Kuip. The coach did not count on defender Devyne Rensch either.
Absent: Kaplan (knee), Kudus (muscle), Rensch (question mark).
Probable lineup: Rulli; Sanchez, Timber, Alvarez, Baas; Berghuis, Taylor, Klaassen; Conceicao, Tadic, Bergwijn.

Details Fortuna Sittard: Fortuna Sittard coach Julio Velázquez can simply call on Burak Yilmaz tomorrow afternoon in the away match against Ajax. The attacker seemed to leave the club at the beginning of this week because he was dissatisfied with certain matters. Those irritations have now been expressed. The Limburg club has no absentees, as it seems now.
Absent: no.
Probable lineup: Pandur; Pinto, Guth, Siovas, Cox; Bistrovic, Duarte, Córdoba; Ozyakup; Yilmaz, Noslin.

Details Feyenoord: Feyenoord coach Arne Slot is happy that he can have Lutsharel Geertruida at his disposal again. The defender immediately qualifies for a basic place, although Slot did not want to reveal the line-up for the match against RKC yet. Slot is happy that Michiel Kramer is missing at RKC. The striker visited Feyenoord this week to collect the balls that Feyenoord plays with. RKC could train with it for a few days.
Absent: Bijlow (wrist), Timber (knee).
Probable lineup: Wellenreuther; Geertruida, Trauner, Hancko, Hartman; Wieffer, Szymanski, Kokcu; Jahanbakhsh, Gimenez, Idrissi.

RKC details: RKC has to do without former Feyeno player Michiel Kramer. He received his fifth yellow card last week and will miss the game in De Kuip.
Absent: Kramer (suspended).
Expected lineup: Vaessen; Lelieveld, Gaari, Adewoye, Van den Buijs, Lutonda; Oukili, Anita, Clement; Seuntjens, Lobete.
