Noa Lang will miss PSV’s Champions League match against Spanish club Sevilla on Wednesday evening. Coach Peter Bosz stated at the press conference that the winger suffered a defeat.
Lang returned earlier this week after suffering a hamstring injury on October 8th. As a result, he also missed the Dutch team’s European Championship qualifiers against Ireland and Gibraltar. Bosz does not want to take too many risks with his winger.
A heavy blow for PSV. After four matches, they sit second in the group with as many points as Lens and three more than last-place Sevilla. Leader Arsenal seems unattainable for other teams. With a win in Spain on Wednesday evening, PSV can take an important step towards hibernating in the billion-dollar ball for the first time since the 2015/16 season.
Bosz could not yet say whether the Dutchman would miss the important match against Feyenoord in the Premier League on Sunday. “If you are not there today, you are also a question mark for Sunday. “We took him to Spain because I wanted him to be in the group.”
At Lozano base
His coach confirmed that Hirving Lozano will be able to play against the Spaniards and will even make it into the starting 11. The Mexican was kicked hard on the ankle by Mees Hilgers against FC Twente on Saturday and had to pay the price with a red card and a two-match ban.
Lozano is looking forward to this important match. The attacker sees opportunities for his team. “The team is further ahead than when I first played for PSV from 2017 to 2019. We are playing fantastically in the league and even in the Champions League. “I’m happy about it because everyone at PSV deserves it.”
“Definitely hungry”
Bosz agrees: “We know how important the match is and we want to win. Being there after the winter is a good thing for the club and the players. Hunger definitely exists. I felt this since the beginning of the season: “The players want to win something. Participating in the Champions League is also a big step for us.”
The biggest difference compared to the previous match, which ended 2-2 in Eindhoven, is that Sevilla now has a different coach. Jose Luis Mendilibar was sacked largely due to his poor performance in the competition, in which the ambitious Spaniards finished a disappointing fifteenth.
Bosz: “The way of playing football is different with the new coach Diego Alonso. We are preparing for this as always. “We have analyzed them and we know how they are doing, we want to use that.”
