Yarek facing unexpected role shift at PSV after opening-day omission | OneFootball

Yarek Gasiorowski’s standing at PSV is in question after an opening-day omission that could point to an unexpected change in role, according to Superdeporte.

PSV made five changes from their usual XI to face Fortuna Sittard. Peter Bosz’s side took the lead in minute 74, then conceded in the final minute after a poor clearance, and it finished 2-2 against a team that ended last season eleventh. With the centre-backs struggling, Bosz might have turned to Gasiorowski, but chose not to.

At PSV, the left-footed centre-back has been valued for his distribution, speed and power, contributing to build-up play. His passing range, aerial strength and defensive solidity fit the club’s approach.

He joined on a free in summer 2025 after 30 senior games for Valencia. He played 60 minutes as PSV won the Dutch Super Cup against Go Ahead Eagles, then lifted the league title months later. Across all competitions he made 38 appearances and scored 3 goals, and he will return to the Champions League next season.

A regular with Spain’s under-21s, he has featured in every qualifier for Euro 2027 and has one goal. Whether this is a lasting change will become clearer on the next matchday. For now, the former Valencia defender must wait for his chance to reassert himself.
