Feyenoord are in bad shape on the injury front ahead of their opener with Celtic in a week's time.
Feyenoord boss Arne Slot has reportedly had to conduct training with just five senior players available as their preparations for the clash with Celtic next week hit a major hurdle.
The Dutch giants host Brendan Rodgers and his team in their opening Champions League game on Tuesday September 19 but have been dealing with a selection crisis in recent weeks. Striker Ayase Uda is out with an injury and with Santiago Jimenez suspended, Calvin Stengs is the only available forward to Slot.
Soccernews.nl say Quinten Timber, Bart Nieuwkoop, Javairo Dilrosun, Thomas Beelen and Thomas van den Belt were the only senior players to get a runout and Slot will be hoping to get his full complement of players back together as soon as possible before the major Champions League showdown. To add to the woes, first-team regular Lutsharel Geertruida missed the Netherlands clash with Ireland however it is believed he could recover in time to start against Celtic. He's expected to miss Feyenoord's game with Heerenveen at the weekend though and a decision over whether he makes it against the Hoops could go down to the wire.
