Calvin Verdonk Named in ESPN’s Eredivisie Team of the Week

Indonesian national team player Calvin Verdonk has received recognition from ESPN Netherlands after his impressive display for NEC Nijmegen — earning a spot in the Eredivisie Team of the Week for matchweek 29.

Though typically operating as a left-back, Verdonk was positioned as a center-back in the best eleven formation. He joins three other defenders:

• El Karouni (FC Utrecht)
• Mirani (Heracles)
• Gaaei (Ajax Amsterdam)

The midfield spots in this week’s best team were filled by Moder (Feyenoord), Saibari (PSV), and Balard (NAC), while the attacking positions were entrusted to Cathline (FC Utrecht), Weghorst (Ajax), and Tillman (PSV).

Verdonk’s impressive performance came as NEC Nijmegen defeated RKC Waalwijk 2-1 four days ago — where he played the full match as a left-back.
