According to VoetbalPrimeur, Bosz stated that Pléa's injury is more serious than a typical cruciate ligament injury, which is known to be one of the worst in football. Bosz explained that Pléa's age and the nature of his previous injury are contributing factors to the prolonged recovery period. The head coach expressed his hope that Pléa will return to training within three weeks, but acknowledged that it will take longer for him to regain his fitness and play in a match again. Bosz also confirmed that PSV will provide support to Pléa throughout his recovery process.
