PSV Eindhoven have had their Eredivisie title push and Europa League campaign dealt a blow with the news that winger Memphis Depay could be out of action until the middle of November.
Depay shone at the World Cup, attracting interest from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur as a result, and started the season in red hot form for Phillip Cocu's PSV Eindhoven.
The 20-year-old, who the Dutch club tied to a new contract this summer, has scored eight goals in eight appearances so far, along with providing three assists for his team-mates.
Depay was struck in the groin in PSV Eindhoven's Eredivisie clash against Zwolle on Saturday, which finished in a 3-1 defeat for Cocu's men.
There were instantly fears for the winger and now those have been realised.
