PSV Eindhoven’s Moroccan international, Ismael Saibari, is confronting the possibility of an early conclusion to his season following a significant injury sustained during an away fixture against FC Twente.
The 23-year-old midfielder was observed departing the stadium on crutches, and subsequent assessments have confirmed the severity of his condition.
Head coach Peter Bosz has confirmed that Saibari will be unavailable for the upcoming Eredivisie match against Fortuna Sittard.
This absence is a considerable blow to PSV’s aspirations, as the team endeavors to close the gap with league leaders Ajax in the final stages of the season.
Saibari’s injury compounds PSV’s existing challenges, with several key players sidelined. Defenders Rick Karsdorp and Jerdy Schouten, along with forward Ricardo Pepi, are all currently out of action, further straining the squad’s depth.
The Moroccan midfielder has been a pivotal figure for PSV this season, contributing significantly to the team’s midfield dynamism. His absence will necessitate tactical adjustments as the club navigates the remaining fixtures.
PSV’s medical team has not provided a definitive timeline for Saibari’s return, but the indications suggest that he may not feature again this season. The club and fans alike will be hopeful for a swift and complete recovery for the talented midfielder.
As PSV prepares for the crucial encounter with Fortuna Sittard, the team will need to adapt to the absence of several key players, including Saibari, as they continue their pursuit of Eredivisie success.
Bosz: ‘Saibari gaat goed, maar hij is er morgen tegen Fortuna niet bij. Ook Karsdorp, Schouten en Pepi niet.’
