Medical update on Shaqueel van Persie

Shaqueel van Persie's injury has been examined further by doctors. The medical findings are positive and indicate that surgery is not necessary. The rehabilitation process has already begun and it is realistic to expect that he will be able to play again this season.

From a privacy perspective, Feyenoord normally prefers to be cautious about sharing medical information about its players. The club is now issuing this update because it wants to emphasize that over the past 24 hours, some media outlets have drawn incorrect conclusions and made false assumptions about Shaqueel's current knee injury and injury history.

The club asks that medical information about players be treated with the necessary care and restraint, with attention and respect for their personal context and privacy.
