During this meeting, played on Saturday as part of the 19th day ofEredivisie, Zerrouki had to leave the field in the 81st minute after a physical duel. While the extent of the injury has not been officially clarified, Brian Priske suggested that the player could be away from the field for several weeks. “Zerrouki, like Givairo Zechiël, is out of this match. Concerning Ramiz, his absence will be longer, but we do not yet know exactly what is wrong with him”declared the Danish coach.
This situation further complicates plans for Feyenoord, who will have to deal with a diminished midfield. Besides Zerrouki, Quinten Timber et Hwang In-beom will also be missing, limiting their options to face a Bavarian team in top form. “It’s a difficult time with so many injuries. This is the first time in my career that I have experienced such a dark streak”confided Pricey, visibly frustrated by the situation.
Pour Zerrouki, this injury comes at a pivotal moment. Criticized for his inconsistent performances since his arrival at Feyenoord, the Algerian was under pressure to establish himself as a key element. His prolonged absence also represents a concern for the Algerian national team, which will count on him for the next international events in March.
