Givairo Read provides more clarity on injury after Feyenoord v Go Ahead Eagles

Givairo Read's injury does not look too serious. The Feyenoord right-back had to go off just after the hour mark on Sunday afternoon, but he gave the Rotterdam fans some reassurance after the match.

Fifteen minutes into the second half against Go Ahead (2-2) on Sunday, Read went down on the pitch. He then left the field in a lot of pain.

Read appeared to suffer a thigh injury, grabbing his right leg and clearly gritting his teeth through the pain. Jordan Lotomba replaced him.

Speaking to ESPN after the match, Read was asked about his injury. "I was having trouble with my thigh. It feels a bit stiff now, but we will have to see later," replied the defender, who also tried to explain where it went wrong.

"We have to kill the game off earlier. We discussed it after last week, but we still do not manage it."

"We need to make more progress in that area. We have to make it 3-0 and then it is a very different game. This time, unfortunately, we do concede it," said Read.

By half-time, Feyenoord looked to be cruising against Go Ahead as they led 2-0 at the break. In the final half-hour, with Read already off the pitch, the side from Deventer hit back to make it 2-2 through Søren Tengstedt and Stefán Ingi Sigurdarson.
