Arne Slot has announced Feyenoord’s line-up for the away match against FC Twente. The coach cannot have Justin Bijlow in Enschede, who was position tested for the corona virus this week. His place under the bar will be taken by Ofir Marciano, just like Thursday against Slavia Prague. There was also a question mark behind Bryan Linssen’s name, but he is fit enough to start. The match between FC Twente and Feyenoord will start at 2.30 pm in the Grolsch Veste.
At Feyenoord, in the run-up to the meeting with FC Twente, it was mainly about Cyriel Dessers, who was again worth gold for the Rotterdam team in the Conference League match with Slavia Prague on Thursday and is applying for a basic place. However, he starts on the bench, as Linssen, who was injured after fifteen minutes on Thursday, is fit enough to start. Guus Til had to leave early with a red card in the match against Slavia, but also starts in the starting lineup against Twente.
Arne Slot thinks it’s great how FC Twente has settled back into the second tier so quickly after their return to the Eredivisie. “Certainly after a number of financially difficult years, they have succeeded in putting together a strong selection this summer,” said the Feyenoord trainer. “That is worth a compliment to the technical people Jan Streuer and Ron Jans.” For assistant coach Marino Pushic, the duel with Twente is a special one. As a trainer of the Enschedeans, he became champion of the Kitchen Champion Division in 2019.
FC Twente line-up: Unner stall; Troupee, Pröpper, Hilgers, Sadilek; Brama, Zerrouki, Vlap; Rock, Van Wolfswinkel; Limnios.
Line-up Feyenoord: Marciano; Pedersen, Trauner, Senesi, Malacia; Kokcu, Aursnes, Til; Toornstra, Linssen, Sinisterra.
