NEC's selection landed in Bodø on Monday afternoon, but Emre Mor did not join his teammates due to illness. The 29-year-old attacker's absence is a significant blow to the team's chances of overcoming the 1-3 defeat from last week. A win against FK Bodø/Glimt would secure NEC's spot in the Champions League competitive phase, but a defeat would mean they have to settle for a place in the Europa League.
VoetbalPrimeur reports that NEC's trainer, Dick Schreuder, will have to rely on his other players, including the summer signing Adam Tahaui, who might get a chance to start in Mor's place. Emre Mor's illness is a setback for the team, but it's expected that he will be back in action on Saturday against PEC Zwolle. NEC will have to regroup and focus on their upcoming match against the Zwolle side, hoping to bounce back from their disappointing defeat last week.
