VfB Stuttgart is set to face Go Ahead Eagles Deventer in the Europa League tonight at 9 p.m. However, a significant number of fans may not be in attendance to support the team in the Netherlands. The Dutch police’s recent actions against German fans arriving in Deventer have led to this unfortunate situation, as many fans intended to head straight to the stadium.
As a result of these developments, Stuttgart’s ultras have reportedly decided to cut their trip short and return home, missing the opportunity to cheer for their team live. It remains unclear how many fans are being detained by the police and may not arrive at the stadium in time.
Meanwhile, Stuttgart’s board chairman has addressed the incident, noting that certain VfB fans are facing entry restrictions. The club is in close communication with the relevant authorities and UEFA to address and clarify this excessive measure, according to Wehrle’s statement.
With only 4 points from their first four Europa League matches, Stuttgart is in urgent need of a victory against the Dutch side to keep their hopes of advancing alive.
