The title in English is: "PSV" defenders are dwindling before the match with "Arsenal" © EuroFootball.com

Before the upcoming Champions League round of 16 match against the Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven in London, there were some additional concerns in the defense line. After the weekend match against "RKC", which PSV won 2-0, it was revealed that defenders Manuel Da Costa and Jan Kromkamp will miss the game in London. J.Kromkamp stretched his calf muscles in this match, while Manuel Da Costa did not play due to the flu. The Brazilian probably won't recover in time for the match against Arsenal. With Michael Reiziger recovering from a abdominal muscle injury, PSV's coach Ronald Koeman plans to place 18-year-old backup player Dirk Marcellis in the right defense sector against the Gunners. In the first leg of the round of 16 matches, the leaders of the Dutch league PSV won 1-0 against Arsenal at their home ground.
