"It's going to be a long injury, for a couple of months," said Slot.

"It's a big disappointment for him and, as a result, for us."On Van de Van's challenge, he added: "This was for me a reckless challenge. The tackle of Van de Ven - if you make that tackle 10 times - I think 10 times there is a serious chance that a player gets a serious injury."More to follow
