Overview
- Pepi fractured his forearm after scoring in the first half of PSV’s 5-1 win over Excelsior and was substituted immediately.
- PSV confirmed successful surgery and an estimated absence of roughly eight weeks.
- The setback interrupts a strong run, with Pepi on a multi-game Eredivisie scoring streak and 11 goals this season across competitions.
- Coach Peter Bosz called the injury deeply disappointing, noting Pepi had just regained momentum after last season’s knee issue.
- The recovery window likely keeps Pepi out of late-March friendlies against Belgium and Portugal, though reports indicate he should be available for the 2026 World Cup.
