Shaqueel van Persie Injured, Robin van Persie Sends Message

Feyenoord fans and head coach Robin van Persie were left in low spirits after the Shaqueel van Persie injury during their 2-1 defeat away at the Estadio La Cartuja de Sevilla. The De Trots van Zuid substituted Cyle Larin and brought the young attacker on to get some attacking momentum.

However, the club went down to 10 men as Shaqueel van Persie was stretchered off the field after an awkward landing. The 19-year-old striker has scored two times in his five appearances in Feyenoord colors this season.

Will Shaqueel van Persie Injury Derail His Good Start?

Head coach Robin van Persie's son suffered the injury in the UEFA Europa League after just 12 minutes of stepping on the field. Naturally, van Persie was seen having some words of consolation for his distraught ward on the touchline.
While the club yet to provide an official update, the Shaqueel van Persie injury comes at a frustrating time, given his blistering start to life in the Eredivisie. Feyenoord currently sits second in the Dutch top-flight standings with 39 points, trailing Peter Bosz’s PSV Eindhoven, who lead the table on 53 points and enjoy a commanding 14-point cushion.

Who Will Be Robin van Persie's Shaqueel van Persie Replacement?

The De Trots van Zuid are already missing the league's top scorer, Ayase Ueda, from the attacking department through injury. With Shaqueel van Persie joining the list of absentees, Casper Tengstedt and Cyle Larin remain the only recognised central forward pairing available; searching for a Shaqueel van Persie replacement is increasingly important.

Head coach Robin van Persie can also experiment with players like Aymen Stilti and Leo Sauer as they navigate this key phase of the Eredivisie season. While these players are young and just starting out at the club, their hunger to prove themselves at the top level might come in handy for Robin van Persie's men.

When will Shaqueel van Persie Return To Action?

At this stage, a clear Shaqueel van Persie return date remains uncertain, with further medical assessments expected in the coming days. Sportsdunia will keep you updated as soon as Feyenoord provides further information regarding the injury and a potential recovery timeline.
