The reigning champion of the Netherlands shared the sad news last Sunday that due to a serious knee injury, the remainder of this season and participation in the European Championship in Germany have to be canceled. The Feyenoord selection beautifully supports the wing defender.
Hartman broke through into Feyenoord’s main squad last season and, as the first left back in coach Arne Slot’s selection, played an important role in the first national title since 2017. The wing defender cannot be left out of the reigning champion’s team this season either. thinking and developed stormily. That did not go unnoticed.

Unfortunately for the Dutch team and Hartman, the wing defender had to miss the recent friendlies against Scotland and Germany. Hartman had not emerged unscathed from the meeting between SC Heerenveen and Feyenoord and the complaints increased among the Dutch team. The Feyenoord back left the training camp the day before the practice match against Scotland and was therefore also absent from the showdown against Germany. Hartman was fit enough for a starting place in Feyenoord’s home match against FC Utrecht last Sunday, but had to be replaced after 31 minutes after an unfortunate moment.
A few hours later, things turned out to be very wrong for Hartman. He has suffered a serious knee injury and will not play in the coming months. No cup final, no European Championship with the Dutch team and no top transfer. A tough blow for Hartman. The Feyenoord selection supported him on Tuesday. A photo of Feyenoord on X shows that the staff and players form the letter Q, referring to Hartman’s first name. “Staff and teammates at Feyenoord come up with a beautiful statement of support for child of the club Quilindschy Hartman, who is facing months of rehabilitation for his knee”writes reporter Dennis van Eersel RTV Rijnmond.
Hartman played 38 times for Feyenoord this season. He did not score, but provided seven assists. The Dutch international may also miss the start of the new season.
