Thomas Didillon-Hödl, a 30-year-old French goalkeeper, is in his third season at Willem II. He suffered a hamstring injury in the opening match of the Eredivisie. This injury will keep him sidelined for several months, according to Willem II's official statement.
Didillon-Hödl has been a key player for Willem II, helping the team get promoted to the Eredivisie last season. He took a crucial penalty kick in the play-offs final, securing Willem II's promotion. After the promotion, he extended his contract with Willem II by two seasons. Wouter van der Steen has replaced him against Go Ahead Eagles.
Willem II will face NEC in their first home match of the season on Saturday, with Van der Steen expected to start under the bar.
