In the Dutch championship, the club currently holding the sixth place will have to do without their attacking leader and the top scorer of the competition, Alfonso Alves, for about a month. The 26-year-old Brazilian strained his ligaments in Saturday's goalless match against Vitesse and, according to the club, will have to sit out for four to six weeks. A. Alves arrived at Heerenveen before this season from the Swedish team Malmo and has scored 22 goals in 23 matches, making him the top scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie. Earlier, the coaches of Herenveno's team stated that A. Alves' value is increasing with each goal, as "each of his goals is worth a million euros".
