Shaqueel van Persie Injury Scare Deepens Feyenoord’s European Nightmare
The final minutes in Seville delivered a moment that went far beyond the scoreline and it left Feyenoord with far more questions than answers. As the match against Real Betis slipped away, young Shaqueel van Persie went down, clutching his knee after an awkward landing and the sight was instantly alarming. He did not walk off. He was carried away on a stretcher and in that moment, concern replaced frustration for players, staff and supporters alike.
This came at the end of a painful night for Feyenoord. Needing a win to keep their Europa League hopes alive, they instead fell behind early and never fully recovered. Real Betis controlled the tempo, punished mistakes and showed the sharpness that Feyenoord struggled to match. A late goal gave brief hope, but it was not enough. The defeat confirmed Feyenoord’s elimination from Europe, closing the door on a competition that once promised opportunity.

But the injury to Shaqueel van Persie is what truly lingered after the final whistle. The young forward is seen as one of the club’s brightest prospects. He represents promise, progression and the future pathway Feyenoord has worked hard to build. When a player like that goes down in visible pain, the impact is immediate and emotional and it reaches far beyond one match or one tournament.
Early indications suggest the knee injury could be serious, though full medical assessments are still pending. Knee injuries are always worrying in modern football, especially for young players whose development depends on rhythm, confidence and physical trust in their bodies. A long absence would be a setback not only for the player himself, but also for a Feyenoord side already stretched by injuries and inconsistency.
This moment also reflects a broader issue for Dutch football in Europe. Feyenoord’s exit followed the earlier eliminations of other Eredivisie clubs. With fewer teams advancing, the Netherlands has taken a hit on the UEFA coefficient rankings and that could have long-term consequences, including fewer direct places in future Champions League campaigns. What happens in matches like this does not stay in one stadium. It ripples across an entire league.
For now, the focus is on Shaqueel van Persie’s recovery. The coming days will be crucial in understanding the severity of the injury and what it means for his season. Feyenoord must regroup, refocus domestically and find a way to turn disappointment into resolve.
This story is still unfolding and its consequences may be felt for months to come. Stay with us as we continue to follow the latest developments, bring you confirmed updates and keep you informed on what this means for Feyenoord and Dutch football going forward.
