Mike te Wierik directly in the base at FC Emmen, which is struggling with a growing laundry list of absentees in the run-up to the duel with Vitesse

As far as the width of the selection is concerned, it is doom and gloom at FC Emmen. Trainer Dick Lukkien has to face Vitesse on Saturday evening without the injured Metehan Güclü, Jeff Hardeveld, Maikel Kieftenbeld, Mart Lieder and Rui Mendes. In addition, Oussama Darfalou was injured on Thursday and Jeremy Antonisse was ill in recent days. The pair are also unavailable. There are also questions about the employability of Richairo Zivkovic, who was injured against RKC Waalwijk.
