NEC Nijmegen will face a significant absence during the return match against FK Bodø/Glimt, scheduled for Tuesday. Winger Emre Mor, affected by illness, was unable to take his place in the squad and remained in Nijmegen to recover. This news represents a hard blow for the Dutch team, engaged in a playoff series to reach the group stage of the Champions League.
Indeed, during the first home clash, the NEC suffered a heavy 1-3 defeat against the Norwegians from Bodø/Glimt. Despite this disillusionment, a glimmer of hope remains thanks to the goal scored by the NEC, which leaves a small margin to hope for a turnaround during this second round on Norwegian soil.
Coach Dick Schreuder will have to cope without his offensive striker Emre Mor, absent due to illness, but will be able to count on all the other elements of his squad. The Dutch club is aiming for a resounding feat to erase the gap and qualify for the prestigious European competition. If NEC manages to reverse the trend, they will participate in the group stage of the Champions League. Otherwise, the team will console itself with participation in the Europa League.

Emre Mor, who preferred to stay in Nijmegen to treat his illness, aims to get back into shape quickly in order to return to the pitch for the next match against PEC Zwolle, scheduled for Saturday. His absence against Bodø/Glimt raises fears of an offensive deficit for the team, already severely tested by the unfavorable score in the first leg.
This crucial meeting against the Norwegians is a real test for the NEC, which must deploy all its resources to achieve the feat and secure its place among the European elite. The return to Nijmegen with a defeat on the clock requires a solid and flawless performance, despite the absence of Emre Mor, to emerge victorious from this double confrontation.
The stakes are high for the Dutch club which has not had access to the group stage of the Champions League for several years. Supporters expect a strong response from the team and full commitment to continue the European adventure, with or without Emre Mor in the starting lineup.
The rest
The NEC will now have to rely on the rest of their squad to compensate for the absence of Mor during the return match against FK Bodø/Glimt. The team hopes to achieve a feat in Norway to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League. If this does not materialize, the club will look to the Europa League to continue its European journey this season.
