Mijnans is straight back into the XI
Sven Mijnans has served his suspension and can play again. The left-footer looks set to start immediately against Willem II on Saturday evening at Philips Stadion, kick-off 18:45 CET (3).
PSV sit third on 20 points from 10 games, with a goal difference of +15. The last five reads W L L W D. Not title form. Not yet.
Willem II come to Eindhoven as a promoted side, and that is exactly the part Bosz does not want to hear about.

Bosz on the promoted-side stat: "Then we'll lose again"
PSV have lost their last three games against promoted clubs. Peter Bosz was asked about it on Friday and gave it short shrift.
"Dan gaan we weer verliezen," he said. Translation: then we'll lose again. That is his whole answer to the statistic (5).
Fair enough. The table does the talking anyway: PSV have dropped points in three of their last five and need a clean win here before the week gets serious.
Wanner's recovery is crawling
Paul Wanner is still out with a rotblessure and Bosz gave no date on Friday. "Hij heeft een rotblessure, herstel gaat langzaam," he said, which means the recovery is going slowly (1).
The midfielder has been on the sidelines for a while now, and PSV are planning without him for the moment.
Ouaissa out for months, and Bosz points at the club doctor
Sami Ouaissa will not be available for months. The summer signing from NEC is out, and Bosz pointed to the PSV club doctor when asked about it (2).
That is a new addition who has barely featured, and Bosz is not hiding where he thinks the issue lies.
Club Brugge arrive on Wednesday in form
Club Brugge beat Zulte Waregem 2–4 away in the Belgian top division on Friday. They are top of the league and they travel to Eindhoven for the Champions League on Wednesday with Ivan Leko's side feeling good (4).
Your team won at Porto 0–1 on October 20, so the away form in Europe is there. Wednesday is a different test.
Uneken explains why he left
Jesper Uneken has explained his PSV exit. A starting spot at IK Sirius and the chance to write history beat staying in the Eredivisie.
"I Nederländerna är det få som har kunskap om Allsvenskan och den här klubben," he said, meaning few people in the Netherlands know about the Allsvenskan or that club (6).
ADO Den Haag were also in the picture.
Fan reactions
The r/PSV thread doing the rounds is about the stack of documents Eindhoven council has published on the planned expansion of Philips Stadion. Nobody is arguing about the team, they are reading planning files about a ground that turns 116 soon. Supporters are treating stadium news as seriously as transfer news.
