A young Young PSV will go for their first ever win in Helmond tonight. Coach Pascal Jansen's squad includes a number of PSV Under 19 players, including Michal Sadilek, Cody Gakpo and Jaëll Hattu, who could make their debut in professional football.
Absentees
The reinforcement from under 19 has to do, among other things, with the injury problems in coach Phillip Cocu's selection and the absence of Nikolai Laursen and Beto da Silva. The latter is suspended for two games, Laursen has suffered a serious knee injury.
Huntelaar
Without them, but with Jordy de Wijs, Young PSV must hunt for their first league victory in Helmond. The current leader of the Jupiler League has not won on Helmond soil since the entrance of the youngster teams on the second level of the Netherlands. Once, however, Young PSV did win in an away match against Helmond Sport. That was on August 7, 2001 in a preliminary round game for the KNVB Cup. Klaas Jan Huntelaar was one of the goalscorers on behalf of PSV.
