Overview
- PSV said medical exams confirmed a forearm fracture and scheduled surgery for Sunday.
- Pepi scored in the first half against Excelsior, then landed awkwardly on his left arm in the 23rd minute and was substituted.
- The club projects roughly two months out, which could jeopardize his participation in USMNT friendlies against Portugal and Belgium in late March.
- The 23-year-old had been on a five-game Eredivisie scoring streak and sits on 11 goals in 22 appearances across competitions this season.
- Head coach Peter Bosz called the setback especially disappointing after a strong camp, noting Pepi also missed time last January with a knee injury.
