The line-up of PSV for the final league match against PEC Zwolle has been announced. Eran Zahavi missing after collision during practice, reports it Eindhovens Dagblad† The striker has already played his last game for PSV, because he will say goodbye in the summer. Due to the absence of Zahavi, Bruma has a basic place in the front. The duel between the number two in the Eredivisie and the relegation starts at 2.30 pm in Zwolle.
Compared to the previous game against NEC (3-2), in addition to Bruma, Joey Veerman is also new. Furthermore, the same nine players are on the field. Veerman replaces Ritsu Doan, who dropped out against NEC after being hit. One change can be seen at PEC compared to the lost game against Sparta Rotterdam (2-0), in which the relegation sentence fell. Thomas Beelen plays instead of Chardi Landu and makes his basic debut.
A ‘physical battlefield’ is underway at PSV, writes journalist Rik Elfrink of the Eindhovens Dagblad. In addition to Doan and Zahavi, Ryan Thomas, Phillipp Mwene, Olivier Boscagli, Carlos Vinícius, Yorbe Vertessen, Fredrik Oppegard, Armando Obispo, Marco van Ginkel and Fodé Fofana are not among them. It is the last game under the rule of Roger Schmidt, who switches to Benfica.
