Gernot Trauner had to abandon the match in the 29th minute of play. In the match between Feyenoord and AZ in the TOTO KNVB Cup, the defender clutches his hamstring and has to be replaced almost immediately. It is very bad news for the people of Rotterdam, who are facing crucial weeks.

After a sprint, Trauner suddenly grabbed his leg. It soon became clear that he had to be substituted and the short conversation between trainer Arne Slot and the defender indeed confirmed the pain in the hamstring. “Hamstring?”, Slot asks Trauner, who immediately nods yes. Thomas Beelen was his replacement.

Commentator Leo Oldenburger immediately fears a nasty injury and emphasizes that Feyenoord will meet PSV and AS Roma twice in the next four weeks.
