Bad news for Oussama Targhalline. The Moroccan midfielder of Feyenoord Rotterdam was injured during the league match against Go Ahead Eagles, played on February 15, 2026, in the Eredivisie. He suffered an ankle injury following a dangerous tackle and was unable to continue, having to leave his teammates early in the match, in the 18th minute, after several long minutes of treatment on the pitch.
During the incident, Thibo Baeten was sent off (red card), a gesture that has been widely discussed in the Netherlands. Clearly affected, Targhalline attempted to return before ultimately conceding his place, leaving the medical staff to handle a concerning situation for the club.
In a press conference, coach Robin van Persie did not hide his concern. The coach mentioned some worrying initial signs and a potential unavailability that could last, although he did not provide a specific timeline, with Feyenoord now adopting a more cautious communication approach regarding injuries.
This injury comes at a bad time, both for Feyenoord and for the player, who was hoping to build on his performances. From the Moroccan side, the situation will also be closely monitored: if the absence extends, Targhalline risks missing the next national team gathering. The club is expected to provide more information after medical examinations.
