Slory misses Willem II return at PSV after suspension

Willem II forward Slory suspended for three matches after red card v Helmond Sport; misses PSV clash this weekend.

Jaden Slory received a three-match suspension from the KNVB following a harsh challenge during Willem II's KNVB Cup tie against Helmond Sport on Tuesday evening. The offence occurred in front of the fourth official, and Slory was sent off immediately. Despite playing with ten men, Willem II recovered from 1-4 down to win 4-3 and advance in the cup competition.

Slory will miss Willem II's away fixture against PSV this weekend and the home match against PEC Zwolle on 6 November. One of the three matches is suspended. The club has accepted the KNVB's settlement proposal.

The suspension is unwelcome news for new manager Jurgen Streppel, who was recently appointed to replace John Stegeman.
