Walter Benitez - Beaten once more Benitez made five saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-0 loss versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Benitez, and PSV's, Champions League run came to an end at the hand of a clinical Dortmund side that just proved to be too much to handle. It wasn't a poor match from Benitez in any sense, he stopped five of the seven shots he faced, but the offense in front of him just couldn't get it done. Benitez will be back to clean sheets and more beatable opponents back in the Eredivisie.

Jordan Teze - Busy in loss Teze recorded two shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Teze was determined to get forward and make an impact on the attack Wednesday, piling forward to take on Ian Maatsen at any opportunity. The defender came so close to putting his name on the scoresheet but was just unable to do so. Teze will have far more manageable matches to look forward to back in domestic action.

Hirving Lozano - Falls to bench Lozano generated three shots (one on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Lozano came off the bench for the second half of Wednesday's loss to Dortmund, surprisingly being dropped from the starting XI. It was an odd move, and one that clearly didn't pay off as the winger was summoned at the first time of asking. Lozano will remain a consistent option in all domestic competitions for the remainder of the season.

Johan Bakayoko - Wasteful Wednesday Bakayoko had three shots (two on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Bakayoko was disappointing during Wednesday's clash, he struggled with the few chances that fell his way and lacked his usual creativity. The winger has been dominant in the Eredivisie and he will remain on of the top options offensively back in the Netherlands. Bakayoko will be back in the Champions League in 2024/24, either with PSV or with rumors of a big money move elsewhere in Europe.

Luuk De Jong - Struggles in elimination de Jong recorded six shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund.

Impact de Jong was desperate to get on the scoresheet throughout Wednesday's clash but he just couldn't do it. He came so close to beating Gregor Kobel on multiple occasions but in the end it was Kobel who earned the win. de Jong finishes the Champions League at the first hurdle in the knockout stage as PSV head back to complete another dominant Eredivisie campaign.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Joey Veerman - Starting against Dortmund Veerman (illness) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's clash with Dortmund.

Impact Veerman got back into the starting XI at the first chance after missing one match due to an illness. The midfielder was always going to be brought straight back into the first team if possible as he is easily the most important part of the midfield, especially with Ismael Saibari on the sideline.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Ismael Saibari - Unavailable against Dortmund Saibari (undisclosed) wasn't included in the traveling squad for Wednesday's trip to Dortmund.

Impact Saibari wasn't called up for Wednesday's clash as he continues to work on his recovery in Eindhoven. The midfielder could return if PSV advance to the quarterfinals, though there's no exact timeline on his return from the undisclosed injury.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Noa Lang - Out for second leg Lang (hamstring) is not in the traveling squad for Wednesday's trip to Dortmund.

Impact Lang wasn't selected for Wednesday's trip to Dortmund and is set for another match on the sideline. The winger is a major loss in the starting XI yet again and continue to deal with the long-term hamstring issue. Even if PSV advance Lang's Champions League season could be in doubt.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Joey Veerman - Called up Wednesday Veerman (illness) was called up for Wednesday's trip to Dortmund.

Impact Veerman was in doubt after missing his last match due to an illness. The midfielder overcame that illness and is now straight back into the traveling squad for Wednesday's trip. Veerman has started all but one match in the Champions League up to this point.

Ismael Saibari - Doubtful to face Dortmund Saibari is in heavy doubt for Wednesday's match against Dortmund due to an undisclosed issue, ad.nl reported Monday.

Impact Saibari has yet to play since the first leg of their UCL tilt with Dortmund, having been sidelined due to an undisclosed issue during that span. He is just one of the many midfielders in doubt for Wednesday's contest, as PSV now enters the match with their top three players in the department questionable, as Noa Lang (hamstring) and Joey Veerman (illness) also carry injuries. He will now await testing ahead of the match, with his status for the contest most likely being revealed in the pre-match press conference Tuesday.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Joey Veerman - In doubt for UCL clash Veerman is in doubt for Wednesday's match against Dortmund due to an illness, ad.nl reported Monday.

Impact Veerman looks set to possibly miss his third match in a row, having yet to play since Feb. 24 due to what appears to be an illness. This could be a brutal blow for the club as they head into the second leg of their UCL round of 16 tilt tied with Dortmund, but they will now possibly be without one of their best midfielders, who started and played the full 90 in the first leg. It will now come down to his testing before the match to decide his availability, with more knowledge on the situation most likely be released Tuesday in the pre-match press conference.
