Cody Gakpo and Marco van Ginkel will not participate with PSV on Thursday in the Conference League away game against Maccabi Tel Aviv. The Eindhoven team defend a 1-0 lead in Israel. Gakpo scored the winning goal in the home game.
The attacker dropped out on Sunday during the competition match against sc Heerenveen (3-1) with a minor ankle injury. Captain Van Ginkel, like third keeper Maxime Delanghe, remains at home because he still tested positive after a previous corona infection. According to Dutch guidelines, there is no longer any reason for isolation or restrictions, but traveling to Israel is only possible with a negative PCR test.
Coach Roger Schmidt has added some players from Jong PSV to his selection of 22 players for the game, which should result in a place in the eighth finals of the third European club tournament.
