The trio of Ouaissa, Sandler, and Moslih have been left out due to injuries. Ouaissa and Sandler were both forced to leave the return match against Olympiakos before halftime, with coach Dick Schreuder stating that they would be out for several weeks. Moslih, who has been injured for a longer period, is not included in the selection.
In contrast, NEC's recent signings Nikolas Polster and Gabriel Bras have been registered for the play-offs. Both players were added to the team this week and will be part of the 22-player selection. Adam Tahaui, who was missing from the selection against Olympiakos, has also been included.
NEC's injury list also includes Koki Ogawa and Vito van Crooij, who are not part of the selection due to injuries. The club still has the option to add two more players to the list. The first leg of the play-offs against Bodø/Glimt will take place on Wednesday, with the return match scheduled for the following week.
