Sherel Floranus out for Curaçao’s first leg against Panama

WILLEMSTAD (DA) — Sherel Floranus will miss Thursday’s first leg of Curaçao’s CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal against Panama, coach Dick Advocaat said. Advocaat will reassess the defender before Sunday’s return leg.

Floranus, the PEC Zwolle left back, has taken part in drills with Curaçao while recovering from an injury he suffered against Go Ahead Eagles.

Jeremy Antonisse will miss both legs. He remained in Greece after injuring his ankle while playing for Kifisia against Olympiacos.

Advocaat said he sees no need to call up replacements for the injured players because Curaçao has enough players to field a starting 11.

Thursday’s match kicks off at 8:30 p.m. at Stadion Ergilio Hato. The return leg is Sunday, Nov. 15, at Estadio Rommel Fernández Gutiérrez in Panama City.
