Van Persie Hopes Tourghaline Returns Before Season End to Avert World Cup Absence for Morocco

Feyenoord coach Robin van Persie has addressed the health status of his Moroccan player, Oussama Tourghaline, confirming that the team hopes to see him return before the end of the current season, despite a recent injury that will sideline him for a significant period.

During the press conference ahead of Feyenoord's Eredivisie match against Telstar, Van Persie explained that long-term injuries present a major challenge for players, particularly from a psychological perspective. He noted that he had experienced a similar situation during his own playing career, allowing him to understand the difficult period the Moroccan player is currently facing.

The Dutch coach indicated that Tourghaline's injury resulted from a strong tackle during the recent match against Go Ahead Eagles. He confirmed that the player's condition is well-known to the technical staff, and everyone is closely monitoring his progress with the hope of his gradual return to the field.

Feyenoord is keen to have Tourghaline back in action before the season draws to a close. Meanwhile, the technical staff of the Moroccan national team is also closely monitoring his physical recovery, hoping he regains full fitness in the near future.
