Justin Bijlow made his return for Feyenoord on Saturday after six months of injury woes. The 27-year-old goalkeeper had a starting place at De Kuip, where Feyenoord practiced against Belgian champion Union Saint-Gilloise: 1-1.

Coach Robin van Persie already announced last month that Bijlow will be Feyenoord’s first keeper next season. The Rotterdammer is preferred over Timon Wellenreuther, who started on the bench against Union. Wellenreuther came on after halftime when Van Persie made several substitutions.

Feyenoord faced a 0-1 deficit halfway through after a mediocre first half. Sofiane Boufal converted a penalty for Union. Shortly before, Mohammed Fuseini had shot a penalty wide for the Belgians.

After halftime, Feyenoord improved and equalized through Ezequiel Bullaude. The midfielder, who played on loan for Fortuna Sittard last season, headed in from a corner: 1-1.

Feyenoord has played against Union more often in recent seasons in the run-up to the new season. In 2022, the Belgians were too strong with no less than 0-4. A year later, the practice match between the two clubs ended in 0-0.

Bijlow was not completely fit last week

Feyenoord started the preparation last week with a practice match against SC Cambuur (1-4-win). Initially, Bijlow would already make his return then, but he was not completely fit then.

Bijlow’s last official match was the Champions League duel with Lille OSC on January 29. The eight-time Oranje international was injured in his knee against the French club, after having frequently struggled with physical problems in his career.

Igor Paixão was not present against Union Saint-Gilloise. The Brazilian has an injury, which he sustained on Thursday in training. Van Persie expects clarity about the severity of the injury early next week.
