Jeroen Veldmate heeft tijdens de training een tik tegen zijn been gehad, waardoor Van Wonderen lichte twijfels heeft of zijn aanvoerder morgen aan de aftrap verschijnt. "Zijn kwetsuur is niet ernstig, maar het kan wel een paar dagen pijnlijk aanvoelen voor hem. Indien Jeroen morgenavond niet fit genoeg oogt, dan zal Justin Bakker hem centraal in de verdediging vervangen."
