Jerdy Schouten's World Cup dreams shattered by ACL injury...
Bad news for Jerdy Schouten! The PSV captain's season and World Cup dreams are over after suffering a severe knee injury in Saturday's game against FC Utrecht. Schouten, 29, twisted his knee in the second half of PSV's 4-3 win and had to be stretchered off, with the club confirming he'll miss the rest of the season and the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
The injury occurred when Schouten collided with Utrecht's Yoann Cathline, and he was immediately in pain, grasping his knee. This is a huge blow for both Schouten and the Netherlands team, with the World Cup starting in June. Schouten had been a key player for PSV and was expected to be part of the Dutch squad.
Schouten's got a severe ACL injury that'll require surgery, according to the club's statement on Sunday. The player knew something was off right away, saying, “When it happened, I actually knew straight away that something was wrong,” in a reaction on the club website.
PSV wishes Jerdy all the best and will support him in every possible way during his rehabilitation process ❤️https://t.co/wGHDaD6CdN

“You still hold onto a glimmer of hope that it might not be as bad as it seems, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. It’s a huge blow right now, but I’ll bounce back quickly. There are great things ahead for PSV and I’ll do everything I can to be part of it all.”
Jerdy Schouten's season and World Cup dreams are over after suffering a severe ACL injury in PSV's match against FC Utrecht. The 29-year-old midfielder, who started every game at Euro 2024, will miss the rest of the 2025/26 season and the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the US.
We’re with you, Jerdy 🧡

This is a huge blow for both Schouten and the Netherlands team, with Ronald Koeman likely watching the developments with concern. Schouten's been a key player for PSV and the national team, and his absence will be deeply felt.
