Historically, Waalwijk hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for the Rotterdammers, with one win and two losses in the last three years, and coach Van Marwijk will be focussed on the job at hand, despite being hit by the usual setbacks in the runup to the game. Not least second choice goalie Patrick Lodewijks, who was forced to pull out with a double injury. Carlo l’Ami takes over keeping duties.
Thankfully the international brigade Kalou, Bosvelt and Song returned to Holland tired but not too bruised, while Paauwe and Bombarda shook off the knocks they picked up last Sunday in Eindhoven.
The big disappointment for Van Marwijk is the possible loss of Kees van Wonderen. Should the veteran be unable to start against RKC then Glenn Loovens will deputise in the central defence. Otherwise Bombarda is expected to keep his starting place at the expense of Kalou.
