PSV defender Sildillia set for surgery after injury setback
The PSV player is expected to remain sidelined until the closing months of the calendar year as he begins his recovery.
PSV will be without Sildillia for the immediate future after it was determined that the defender requires surgery on an injury suffered late last month. According to VI, the current expectation is that he will be able to return during the final months of the calendar year.
Sildillia said the setback was particularly difficult because he had been feeling increasingly comfortable and was looking forward to showing what he could do at PSV. However, he is now focused on the rehabilitation process, with the operation representing the first stage of his recovery. He also highlighted the support he has received from within the club as an important source of motivation.
The injury rules Sildillia out of PSV’s Champions League opener against Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday evening. PSV’s European schedule in November and December 2026 includes a home game against Club Brugge, a trip to Real Madrid and a home meeting with Atlético Madrid.
His projected return window could also affect his availability for PSV’s domestic programme. The Eindhoven side are due to visit NEC and AZ in the Eredivisie during the latter part of the year. No more precise comeback date has been provided, meaning his progress following surgery will determine when he can rejoin the squad.
