PSV's Lucas Pérez Sidelined with Tuberculosis Diagnosis

Eredivisie Club Confirms Striker's Absence Due To Health Concerns

PSV Eindhoven has announced that Lucas Pérez will be out of action for the foreseeable future after being diagnosed with active tuberculosis. The 36-year-old Spanish forward is currently undergoing treatment, and while the timeline for his return remains uncertain, his season could potentially be over.

No Risk of Infection Among PSV Squad

Despite the diagnosis, PSV has reassured fans that no other players or staff members have been infected. The Dutch club is following strict health protocols provided by the GGD (Public Health Service) to manage the situation effectively.

Pérez’s Limited Impact Since February Transfer

PSV signed Pérez on a free transfer in February to provide additional attacking options for head coach Peter Bosz. However, the veteran striker has struggled to make an impact, featuring in just three matches—two substitute appearances in the Eredivisie and an eight-minute cameo in a cup match.

PSV's Striker Options Amid Injuries

With Pérez and Ricardo Pepi both unavailable, Luuk de Jong will remain PSV's primary centre-forward as they continue their pursuit of Eredivisie success.
