Sparta forward Ricky van den Bergh is still no nearer a return to first team action.
Sparta Rotterdam forward Ricky van den Bergh is still no nearer a return to first team action.
Van den Bergh has just recovered from a calf injury and had been expected to come into contention for Sunday's match with Heerenveen.
However, those hopes were dashed after the 25-year-old Dutchman picked up an ankle knock in training this week.
No return date has yet been set for a player whose last Eredivisie appearance came against Ajax on October 2.
This latest blow for Sparta could help to facilitate a move for Sierra Leone front man Kabba Samura who has spent the last week on trial in Rotterdam.
