Tonight in the Jupiler League, Young PSV plays an away match against Jong FC Utrecht. Due to the many absent internationals, Dennis Haar travels with a youthful selection towards Spakenburg.
For the first time during an international
Luuk Koopmans, Marcel Ritzmaier and Bram van Vlerken are the 'oldies' in the matchday squad, which also includes Robin Schoonbrood, Steven Theunissen and Baggio Wallenburg. Opponent Jong FC Utrecht, the last one in the Jupiler League, did not win the last four matches. Last week Robin Pronk's team suffered a 5-2 defeat against FC Eindhoven. It is the first time for Young PSV to play a match at the same time as an international game. The KNVB wanted to move the game, but FC Utrecht did not agree. PSV coach Dennis Haar told the Eindhovens Dagblad that he had taken note. "We are not concerned with things we have no influence over and we want to play football."
Kickoff 8 p.m.
The match will be played at IJsselmeervogels' Sportpark De Westmaat in Spakenburg and kickoff is at 20.0 hrs. The match cannot be seen live on FOX Sports, which has Netherlands - England (channel 1), N.E.C. - De Graafschap (channel 2) and Fortuna Sittard - SC Cambuur on its schedule. But of course to follow via our social channels.
