PSV Eindhoven have recalled Eric Addo from his loan spell at Roda JC in a bid to solve their defensive problems.
Lengthy loan
The 25-year-old Ghanaian defender has been on loan at Roda since the start of the season, having also spent much of the previous campaign there. However, with André Ooijer and Ernest Faber both facing lengthy absences due to knee and hamstring injuries respectively, PSV coach Guus Hiddink opted to bring Addo back to Eindhoven.
'Financial obstacles'
"We have been looking at several options," Hiddink said. "Of course I always want the best, but the other options had too many obstacles - particularly financial." Addo, who will be eligible for the UEFA Cup third-round meeting with AC Perugia, joined PSV from Club Brugge KV in 1999, but injury problems meant he was restricted to just 24 league appearances before being loaned to Roda.
