Willem II lose Jos

Willem II have been informed that Jos van Nieuwstadt could be out for six weeks.

Willem II have been informed that Jos van Nieuwstadt could be out for upwards of six weeks with a leg injury.

The defender picked up a calf injury in the clash with Roda over a week ago and was initially told that the damage was only superficial.

Van Nieuwstadt took the advice of the club's medical team and continued to train, which aggravated the problem.

A more detailed assessment has revealed a tear to a calf muscle which is likely to require six weeks of inactivity.

"At the start the doctors said I had strained a muscle and suggested that I continued to train as this would help," he told Brabants Dagblad.

"However this has had an adverse effect and the doctors have now concluded that I have torn the muscle."
