E get as Ismael Saibari, that sharp Moroccan midfielder, don get injury wey fit make am miss the game come weekend. E pick am for Dutch Cup quarter-final wey happen this week, na so dem carry am come out for half-time because e dey feel serious discomfort.
One chance wey dem talk say no be serious matter, but the club no wan take risk because the guy don dey perform well for them this season, with him energy and creativity too dey shine for midfield. E be like say dem go wait make e recover well before dem decide whether to include am for the game.
Peter Bosz, di head coach, don already talk say Saibari dey deal with some pain after one heavy challenge. Dem substitute am as precaution, no wan end up with long-term injury wey go affect dem for league. As e be now, PSV medical team go dey monitor am closely before dem fit drop any final decision.
Nah wah! Aside from di club matter, Morocco national team dey also dey watch di guy well well because him fitness dey crucial for dem too. If Saibari no fit play, e fit affect both PSV and Morocco as dem dey prepare for di international games wey dey come next month.
As for the upcoming match, PSV dey run di show for Eredivisie this season, dem no fit drop point for away games, winning all 10 games dem don play for away so far. Dem don pack 28 goals for net and only concede 9. Meanwhile, Groningen dey struggle small, dem get solid defense wey don make dem concede only 26 goals this season but di attackers dey somehow sluggish for scoring.
Groningen wey dey sit for eighth place don win only once for di last five league games, and di last two games dem don fall e bele. Dem even lose to Fortuna Sittard after dem don score first and later lose 2-0 to Sparta Rotterdam. No be small wah!
PSV still dey enjoy some run of form, dem just recently beat Feyenoord 3-0 like say dem no get wahala, and dem don progress to di semi-finals of KNVB Cup after dem take Heerenveen for 4-1. Di momentum dey favor dem as dem dey hunt for dat third consecutive league title. But dem go need to step up if Saibari no dey fit for di match.
On top di injury side, PSV get plenty players wey still dey out, including Boadu and Plea wey dey deal with dem own wahala. But still, Bosz go likely field strong lineup wey include Ivan Perisic even though e dey face transfer rumors.
Groningen too get small injury wahala; dem go miss a few players like Mats Seuntjens and Resink, but dem go still try kobo di game wello if dem wan stand a chance against dis PSV side wey dey run amok.
As e be now, di match go be wahala for Groningen if dem wan stop PSV from adding three more points for dem league table. Dey might just need divine intervention or special chance for dem to stand tall against di league leaders.
