No less than ten PSV players have been called up to represent their respective countries for the forthcoming round of international matches, so only a few reported for individual training at De Herdgang training centre on Friday morning. One of them was Jason Culina, who is recovering well from the knee surgery he underwent recently.
No players were out on the training pitch, but Tommie van der Leegte, John de Jong, Alcides, Jason Culina and caretaker coach Jan Wouters had come to the gym to do their workout programmes. The PSV players will have the weekend off and those who are not away on international duty will start preparing on Monday for the encounter with Excelsior on Saturday 24 November. One day later the squad will fly to Moscow, where they meet CSKA Moscow on Tuesday 27 November on Matchday 5 of the Champions League group stage campaign. Midfielder Jason Culina is stepping up his rehabilitation programme after he underwent knee surgery recently. The Australian hopes to stage a comeback against Excelsior in Rotterdam and join the squad for the trip to Russia.
