Excelsior currently stands 1st in the Eredivisie with 3 points and 1 win and 0 loss from 1 game, recent form: W. PSV will play without Filip Kostic against Excelsior, but Kodai Sano is in the squad. The Serbian player has not trained enough to play. Kodai Sano made his debut for PSV and is therefore available for the match against Excelsior. Noah Fernandez and Alassane Pléa, however, are not in the squad. 'Kostic has his work permit, but he has not trained enough, so he is not playing,' said Peter Bosz at his weekly press conference. 'Kodai and Filip come from different situations. Kodai had group training at NEC. Filip has worked hard with a personal trainer, but not in a group. I don't know how far he is.' Fernandez is also not playing against Excelsior. 'Noah is not seriously injured, but someone fell on him. He trained today, but we left him out of the duels because it would still be too painful. Tomorrow (Saturday, red.) he will not be in the squad, because then you have to be able to play duels. I do not expect him to be away for long.' Also Pléa, who missed training on Friday, must let the match against Excelsior pass him by. 'I do not know how long he will be absent.' Sergiño Dest and Joey Veerman are again available after serving their suspensions.
