The setback for PEC Zwolle comes after a disappointing start to the season, with the team losing 0-7 to Feyenoord and 3-0 to FC Groningen. Younes Namli, a quality midfielder, was expected to make a difference, but he suffered another injury during training this week.
Coach Henry van der Vegt said it's "very disappointing" for Namli, who was working hard to return to the pitch. "We were busy making sure he could play this match, but that's not going to happen now. We'll have to wait and see how serious it is." Van der Vegt also stated that Namli is "not available for now" due to the injury, which is not extreme but still prevents him from doing what he was doing before.
PEC Zwolle will face SC Cambuur at home on Sunday, looking to avenge their earlier losses to Feyenoord and Groningen. The team has picked up four points in the first seven matches of the season.
