PSV Eindhoven's miserable week continued today with the news that defender Kevin Hofland faces a spell on the sidelines with an ankle injury.

Torn tendon
The 23-year-old Dutch international is to have tests on Monday after tearing a tendon in his right ankle. He suffered the injury during PSV's Champions League home defeat by Arsenal FC on Wednesday and was substituted at half-time.

Could miss out
If Hofland's injury proves serious, he would miss not only PSV's forthcoming Champions League dates but also the Netherlands' next EURO 2004™ qualifier away in Austria on 16 October.
