According to VoetbalPrimeur, Van Bronckhorst does not expect the unexpected change to have a significant impact on Feyenoord's performance. The change was made due to concerns over Tsuyoshi Watanabe's fitness ahead of a busy schedule. Van Bronckhorst has opted to start Mármol and Jerry in the centre of defence instead, citing Watanabe as a "question mark" for selection.
Van Bronckhorst has stated that Jeremiah St. Juste was not a concern for him, as he had been training as usual in the lead-up to the match. The Feyenoord coach is confident that his team is in good form and will continue to play their own brand of football.
