One day after guiding his team to a win in Europe over Sibir, PSV head coach Fred Rutten looked ahead to Sunday’s Eredivisie encounter at ADO Den Haag. “We want to end the week in style. Sunday’s game is a crucial one”, told Fred Rutten the media at his weekly press briefing on Friday afternoon, ahead of the Europa League draw in Monaco.

Light training

Rutten presented a team update, one day after his team cruised to a 5-0 win over FC Sibir. “Marcelo and Manolev feel a bit stiff and sore the day after. We had a light training session this morning”, said Rutten. Captain Engelaar did not join the squad for training as he was ill. “We’ll have to wait and see how he feels tomorrow. We will work with a nineteen-man squad on Saturday to complete preparations for the ADO Den Haag game. ” Ibrahim Afellay is eligible for Sunday and will be called up to the match squad, along with Maza Rodriguez, who will return from suspension in Europe.

‘ADO Den Haag’

Rutten: “Sunday’s opponents ADO Den Haag are a different team from last season. No better or worse, but different. They pulled off a crucial win away at VVV Venlo last weekend. They have more goal scoring prowess. They have bolstered their squad with the signing of a Slovenian international. We want to end the week in style. Sunday’s game is a crucial one”. Many players will be away on international duty, following Sunday’s game, to represent their countries in Euro 2012 qualifying games.
