PSV Eindhoven’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ola-Toivonen-c28363 remains question mark for SL Benifica – Europa League update
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven’s star player, Ola Toivonen, is doubtful to play in the upcoming UEFA Europa League quarter-final clash against SL Benifica.
Toivonen sustained a slight hamstring injury in a training session last week. Fred Rutten, PSV manager, is still uncertain whether he will avail the services of the Swedish international midfielder in the first leg of the Last Eight round.
Rutten’s side will take on the Portuguese outfit on April 7, 2011. The first leg of the encounter will take place at Estadio da Luz.
The Boeren were on the receiving end of a 2-0 defeat at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede at De Grolsch Veste on April 2, 2011, that has dented their confidence severely. It will be another major blow for the Eredivisie outfit if the Swedish international
remains sidelined due to injury for the upcoming clash.
The Swedish international midfielder, in preparation for the upcoming encounter, has visited a Serbian doctor, Marijana Kovacevic. The Serbian doctor has helped the prolific striker before with his injuries and he has been named as a ‘miracle doctor’.
The Boeren will be hoping that the Swedish international recovers from his injury before the clash. Rutten is optimistic for his return on the pitch in time. Rutten said, “It's going well, I understand. However, we are yet not sure whether Ola will play
against Benifica or not”.
Rutten has the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Otman-Bakkal-c28851, who can replace the Swedish international midfielder. Bakkal replaced the 24-year old attacking midfielder before in the Eredivisie, when Toivonen was suspended for four games in the league.
Rutten knows that the Portuguese outfit will prove to be their toughest opponents in their European campaign.
The Eagles have an impressive squad with a strong influence from South American nations. They boast seven players from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 including their captain and defender, Anderson Luis da Silva.
However, the tactician would be hoping that his troops deliver a good show on the road and keep their European hopes alive this season.
