Injury problems have forced the PSV Eindhoven coach Ronald Koeman to name two untested teenagers in his 18-man squad for Wednesday's UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg at Liverpool FC.
Surprised
Rens van Eijden, a 19-year-old central defender, and left-back Olivier ter Horst, 18, were both taken by surprise by their promotion from the youth set-up according to a report on PSV's website. Ibrahim Afellay, Jan Kromkamp, Edison Méndez, Michael Reiziger and Alex are all absent through injury, while forward Diego Tardelli damaged his ankle in training today and is uncertain to play at Anfield where the Dutch champions will attempt to overturn a 3-0 deficit.
