'These 5 Feyenoorders do not appear to be affected by the flu'

The Europa League match between Feyenoord and AS Roma is getting closer. Tuesday evening took place 1908.nl out with the news that several basic players of the reigning national champion are suffering from 'flu symptoms'. The Rotterdam medium provides an update on various players via X.

1908.nl shares a tweet from the Mexican Football Federation, in which star player Santiago Gimenez cheerfully poses with national coach Jaime Lozano and Feyenoord coach Arne Slot. The medium also knows more about four players.

“Quilindschy Hartman, Thomas Beelen, Mats Wieffer and Dávid Hancko also showed up at the 1908 sports complex on Tuesday,” said 1908.nl. It is hoped that Slot will have a fully fit selection at his disposal on Thursday. It is not yet known which players are involved, although there are rumors on X that captain Lutsharel Geertruida is 'very ill'.

Geertruida was worth gold for Feyenoord last Sunday in the city derby against Sparta Rotterdam (2-0 win). The Rotterdam defender was responsible for the second goal on behalf of the Stadium clubafter which the three points were no longer in danger.

Stomach flu

Shortly after the match with Sparta, some selection members of the Rotterdam team reportedly contracted a stomach flu. According to the fan medium, the team trained on Tuesday with a 'significantly thinned selection'.

Youth players joined the first team players to achieve 'workable' training. A confrontation with AS Roma awaits for the third season in a row on Thursday evening at 6:45 PM.

Feyenoord hopes on Thursday that three times will be the charm. In the previous editions between the two teams, then Roma coach José Mourinho managed to guide his team to the final victory (Conference League) and the next round respectively.

In any case, Slot cannot rely on Justin Bijlow, Gernot Trauner, Gjivai Zechiël and Thomas van den Belt against the Romans. They suffer from various injuries. In addition, the participation of Quinten Timber is questionable. The midfielder had to miss the match against Sparta due to a concussion.
