Pothuizen blow for NEC

NEC Nijmegen's Patrick Pothuizen has been ruled out for six weeks.

NEC Nijmegen's defensive problems have taken a turn for the worse, with Patrick Pothuizen ruled out for six weeks.

The 32-year-old has torn his right hamstring, and will need at least a month on the sidelines.

Pothuizen has already missed a large chunk of the season after undergoing surgery on a groin problem.

NEC face De Graafschap on Sunday without Arjan Ebbinge, Pascal Heije and suspended duo Jose Valencia and Peter Wisgerhof.
