PSV’s Mendez sidelined with Achilles injury

Dutch side PSV Eindhoven could be without midfielder Edison Mendez for two weeks. The Ecuadorian is suffering from an Achilles injury.

As a result, the South American should miss the league match with Vitesse and possibly Sparta Rotterdam.

The player’s replacement is likely to be either Otman Bakkal or Haibin Zhou, who could make his debut against Vitesse this Saturday.

With seven games to go in the Eredivisie, PSV are currently in fifth place and already of contention for the title after four consecutive championships.
