Feyenoord must do without injured St. Juste against Fortuna Sittard

St. Juste ruled out for Fortuna Sittard clash with shin complaint; Feyenoord targeting his return for Inter Champions League tie.

Jeremiah St. Juste will miss Feyenoord's Saturday fixture against Fortuna Sittard due to a shin injury sustained during last Sunday's Eredivisie match against PSV. The centre-back had to leave the field at half-time and a week's rest has not been sufficient for his recovery.

Manager Arne Slot van Bronckhorst confirmed St. Juste's absence at his pre-match press conference, stating the club is working to have him available for next week's Champions League encounter with Internazionale. Van Bronckhorst also provided updates on other squad members: Gijs Smal was unwell but is expected to return next week, while Shaqueel van Persie and Reiss Nelson are already training with the group and should be back in contention for either the Inter match or the following game against SC Heerenveen.
