PSV coach Ruud van Nistelrooij changes his starting eleven against FC Zurich on no less than four positions on Thursday evening, it is expected General Newspaper. According to the morning newspaper, Jarrad Branthwaite, Joey Veerman, Guus Til and Ismael Saibari are all not at the kick-off in the Europa League match. The people from Eindhoven start against the Swiss last with André Ramalho, Érick Gutiérrez, Anwar El Ghazi and Yorbe Vertessen.
On Thursday, Walter Benítez will be under the bar at the Letzigrund Stadium. Since his arrival to Eindhoven, the Argentine goalkeeper has received the confidence of Van Nistelrooij in every match. Jordan Teze starts on the right wing, while Philipp Max serves the left back. Ramalho takes over from Branthwaite in the center back. The Brazilian forms a duo with Armando Obispo.
Xavi Simons is one line back compared to the humiliating 3-0 defeat against SC Cambuur. The nineteen-year-old midfielder is therefore in his favorite 10th position. Ibrahim Sangaré is not spared by Van Nistelrooij, while Veerman has been referred to the bank in Zurich. This gives Gutiérrez the opportunity to prove himself and control the game.
In the front, Van Nistelrooij opts for El Ghazi and his captain Cody Gakpo on the flanks. El Ghazi is therefore preferred in Switzerland over Saibari, who played a poor match against Cambuur. Yorbe Vertessen takes over the striker position from Simons, which ultimately comes at the expense of a base place for Til. Luuk de Jong is still not available in his native country on Thursday evening due to his ankle injury, the 32-year-old striker is completing an individual training program in Eindhoven. Kick-off in Zurich will be at 6.45 pm.
Presumably PSV line-up: Benitez; Teze, Ramalho, Obispo, Max; Sangare, Simons, Gutierrez; El Ghazi, Vertessen, Gakpo.
