Feyenoord will face the Hague on Sunday noon in another Eredivisie match. However, both of the goalkeepers Lodewijks & Aerts are currently injured and so, the game could be a chance for Sherif Ekrami to make the long awaited debut for the first team of Feyenoord.

However, today's training will determine to a great shape which goalkeeper will be between the sticks tomorrow.

Lodewijks is confirmed to miss the game while the other goalkeeper Aerts is still suffering from a shoulder injury that he suffered in the game versus AZ. Lodewijks started to train solo on Friday and will probably be able to start tomorrow. However, if he couldn't, the main goalkeeper will be the Egyptian Sherif Ekrami.

According to the official website of Feyenoord Rotterdam, Koeman feels that the Egyptian has potential, but that’s all it is at the moment:


"If he wants to become first-choice keeper, he will have to improve a lot" says Koeman.

‘It goes for almost all keepers that they reach their peak at twenty-eight years of age and he is naturally still young. The advantage he has is that he has great presence; there is really someone in the goal. What’s more, he’s athletic, agile and he has a powerful jump.’

PROBABLE LINE-UP:


Aerts (Ekramy); Collen, Vlaar, Bahia, Bosschaart; Hofs, Paauwe, De Guzman; Castelen, Kuyt, Kalou.
