Walter Benitez - Concedes in UCL start Benitez made two saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Sporting CP.

Impact After sitting out PSV Eindhoven's first game of the 2024-25 Champions League, Benitez was PSV's goalkeeper for the team's second. But while he got the start over Joel Drommel, Benitez did not impress, conceding once to Jerdy Schouten and barely logging multiple saves.

Joey Veerman - Out for month Veerman is out for at least the next month due to a groin issue according to his club.

Impact Veerman already had reports of an injury but those claims have elevated in the past day, as he has now been ruled out for at least a month due to groin issues. This will be a major loss for the club, as he is a crucial player who runs their midfield. He will look to return sometime in November, hoping for no setbacks in his recovery program.

Armando Obispo - Returns to bench Obispo (knee) was on the bench for Saturday's 2-0 win over Willem.

Impact Obispo has now made the bench in each of the club's past two games despite having yet to earn a minute. However, this is still enough to clear the defender of his injuries, with the defender an option once again. He will hope to test his legs soon and see some action, although starting time isn't likely after only appearing twice in last season's UCL campaign.

Rick Karsdorp - Sees 45 off bench Karsdrop (undisclosed) played 45 minutes off the bench in Saturday's match against Willem.

Impact Karsdrop is back as an option after missing their opening UCL match due to fitness issues. He has yet to start in his two matches with the team since joining, so he will likely only hold a spot on the bench Tuesday, with a slight chance of earning a start.

Joey Veerman - Unlikely for Tuesday Veerman isn't expected to feature Tuesday against Sporting, according to manager Peter Bosz.

Impact Veerman was forced off in the 71st minute of Saturday's match against Willem, leaving him in doubt for Saturday due to groin issues. Even if he is an option, the midfielder will likely only see a spot on the bench after holding so much uncertainty heading into the contest. He is a regular starter, so this will force a change, with Noa Lang or Ismael Saibari likely taking his spot.

Walter Benitez - Starts against Willem Benitez (personal) started and played 90 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 win over Willem.

Impact Benitez is back with the team following his absence from their UCL opener due to the birth of his child. He is their regular starter and should be expected to continue in that role throughout the competition, especially after starting in all eight of their matches last UCL campaign.

Joel Drommel - Allows three in loss Drommel made three saves and conceded three goals during Tuesday's 3-1 UCL loss against Juventus.

Impact Drommel filled in for Walter Benitez (personal) but couldn't do much to prevent a strong Juventus team from scoring three times in less than an hour. The goalkeeper still made some saves to salvage some fantasy value, but this definitely wasn't the Champions League debut of his dreams. Benitez should return for Oct. 1 home clash against Sporting CP, so Drommel will probably be back to his usual backup duties.

Johan Bakayoko - Delivers assist in loss Bakayoko made an assist, had two off-target shots and created two chances during Tuesday's 3-1 UCL loss against Juventus.

Impact Bakayoko had a very quiet outing overall but ended up being able to salvage some fantasy value during second half's stoppage time as he assisted Ismael Saibari for PSV's lone goal of the match. Competition for a starting spot can get harder once PSV is at full strength, but the attacker will hope the assist helps him to be given some more run as a starter.

Ismael Saibari - Scores off bench versus Juventus Saibari scored a goal off four shots (all on target) and drew one foul after coming off the bench during Tuesday's 3-1 UCL loss against Juventus.

Impact Saibari was brought as part of a double substitution just past the hour mark with PSV already down by three goals and still found his way to be his team's most impactful player up front, with his reward coming during stoppage time in the form of a consolation goal. The playmaker will hope this performance helps him in the fight for a spot in the lineup for upcoming games.

Noa Lang - Set to return Lang is in the traveling squad for Tuesday's trip to Juventus, and is available according to manager Peter Bosz.

Impact Lang missed out against NEC at the weekend, but is now expected to return for Tuesday's clash. The winger is likely to start off the bench, but getting him back will offer a different facet to the PSV strike force. Lang has yet to score in European competition since joining PSV.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Rick Karsdorp - Out Tuesday Karsdorp (fitness) is out for Tuesday's trip to Juventus, according to manager Peter Bosz.

Impact Karsdorp isn't an option for Tuesday's clash with Juve as he struggles to build match fitness. The wing-back is working his way back to fitness, and could be available for the second match in the champions League.

Hirving Lozano - Not selected Lozano (strain) isn't in the squad for Tuesday's trip to Juventus.

Impact Lozano wasn't selected in the traveling squad against Juventus. The forward has been dealing with a muscular injury and now finds himself on the sideline. Luuk De Jong should remain the top option to lead the line with Lozano out.

Mauro Junior - Called up against Juve Junior (hamstring) was called up for Tuesday's trip to Juventus.

Impact Junior has been working his way back from a hamstring injury, but was called up for Tuesday's match. The midfielder can play all over the pitch and is a major depth addition for the start of the Champions League. It's doubtful he will be fit enough for major minutes in the opening match.
