De Nooijer doubt for Czech challenge

Expected return
The injury meant De Nooijer missed the Dutch club's 2-1 win against Willem II in the Eredivisie on Sunday, but the 34-year-old had been expected to return for this weekend's game against FC Groningen and the subsequent UEFA Cup second-round meeting with Teplice in Rotterdam.

'Two to three weeks'
However, Feyenoord have now admitted that De Nooijer looks certain to miss the first-leg tie on 6 November and must be considered doubtful for the second leg on 27 November. Physio Robbart van Linschoten told the club's official website: "We can't exactly say when he can play again. We think it will take two to three weeks."
