Feyenoord travels to Nijmegen this weekend for the away match against NEC. In the last away game of this season, the Rotterdam team can rise above eighty points in the rankings if they win. A great objective in a match where the only sporting honors on the agenda for Arne Slot’s team.
There are two doubts in the selection for Sunday’s match, Slot said at the press conference. “Santi is still a doubtful case. He could not train today. Quinten Timber dropped out last week and was not on the training field today. We expect him back on the training field tomorrow, but that remains to be seen. Then we have the usual injuries with Milambo, Hartman, Wieffer and Nieuwkoop. Fortunately, Gjivai Zechiël was able to train again, but that is too early to be in the competition selection.”
Form Gimenez
Last week the Feyenoord striker appeared Ziggo Sports for an extensive interview. Here he said that his dip in form occurred after the missed penalty against RKC Waalwijk. Slot has his doubts about it, but of course saw that this moment did not help. “You don’t know whether that penalty caused the dip in form, but things did get worse after that match, we cannot deny that.”
Despite Gimenez’s poorer form, Slot continued to have confidence in him. “Santiago has always continued to work hard and fortunately, despite the number of people who indicated that I should make a different choice, he was able to give himself and me the satisfaction of an assist in the final.”
