Feyenoord closes the first half of the season without Gernot Trauner and Luis Sinisterra. The two permanent members of the team of trainer Arne Slot are injured and are missing in the away match against sc Heerenveen. Slot hopes that his team will recover in Friesland from the defeats last week against FC Twente (2-1 after extra time in the cup) and Ajax (0-2).
Feyenoord is in third place in the Eredivisie, 4 points behind leader PSV. After the win in De Kuip, Ajax has 3 points more than the Rotterdam team. “If you are a top club, you know that you have to react when you have lost twice in a row,” said Slot. “We will see on Wednesday whether that will work.”
The Austrian defender Trauner was already missing against Ajax on Sunday, the Colombian left winger Sinisterra had to be replaced at half time. Lutsharel Geertruida and Reiss Nelson took over their places.
