Million-euro signing Ouaissa out for months with new injury

The €9m summer signing from NEC has suffered a new injury and will miss several more months, delaying his PSV debut.

Sami Ouaissa, PSV's €9 million signing from NEC this summer, has suffered a new injury setback and will be sidelined for several more months. The 22-year-old forward arrived in Eindhoven already carrying an injury but had been making progress toward his first-team debut. He featured for Jong PSV on 19 October, suggesting a return was imminent.

The nature of the new injury has not been disclosed by the club. Ouaissa expressed his disappointment, saying he was close to achieving his dream of debuting for PSV's first team but must now delay that moment. He aims to return stronger in early 2025 and contribute to what he hopes will be a successful season.

Ouaissa is among several PSV players currently recovering from injury, alongside Alassane Pléa and Sam Lammers, though Ricardo Pepi is reportedly on track to return for Saturday's match against Willem II.
