Justin Bijlow’s knee injury seems to be not too bad. The goalkeeper of Feyenoord was injured in the final phase of the game with FC Utrecht (1-2) and there was a fear for another long absence from the final post. Shortly after the match in De Galgenwaard, Bijlow states, however, that he expects to be able to play again in two weeks, when Feyenoord takes on cup finalist Vitesse.
“Fortunately, things are going well”, emphasizes Bijlow in front of the camera ESPN. “I took the ball and Kerk walked a bit and yes, it was equally painful.” Reporter Cristian Willaert then asks how painful it really was, because the images did not look very nice. “It was really painful and when it was quiet again in the dressing room, then it disappeared a bit. Fortunately it was also under my knee and not my knee itself. Fortunately it is nothing serious”, said the relieved goalkeeper of the winning goalkeeper. plow.
Bijlow is not afraid that he will have to drop the home game with Vitesse on April 25 because of the knee injury. “Of course we also have a weekend off next week (because of the cup final between Ajax and Vitesse on April 18, ed.), So maybe it will work out well. But I don’t expect any problems.” Willaert then asks Bijlow whether he could have assessed the situation with the incoming Church in a different way. “I get to the ball much earlier and it continues on me, so yeah, I wouldn’t know what else to do here. I still called ‘go’ but he’s going full throttle. So I think he should jump. . If it happens in midfield, you might also have red on whoever does something like that. Not that I want to sew him a red card, not at all. But it’s an unfortunate moment, because I get to the ball earlier. “
Willaert also asked the Attorney for his opinion on the incident with Bijlow and Kerk. “The keeper is doing well and Kerk is basically doing nothing,” emphasizes the Feyenoord coach. “He’s not a boy who does things like that, Church.” The lawyer also indicates that Bijlow did not come out of the fight with a serious injury. “I think it is not too bad, because it was a nice tackle. Right? I could hardly see it from afar, you were closer. I don’t know exactly how it came about”, said the coach in Rotterdam service.
