Dutch international Pieters made his comeback after eight months on the sidelines due to injuries. He was sent off in the 67th minute for a tackle on Benson. On his way to the dressing room, the leftback kicked against a door and punched a window in anger. Due to a big cut in the arm he was immediately taken to the hospital, reports Xinhua.
During the surgery Saturday, "damage in multiple structures in his forearm was revealed", according to a statement by the medical staff of PSV.
Eredivisie league leaders PSV Eindhoven suffered a shock 1-3 home defeat against PEC Friday in their first match after the winter break. Tim Matavz scored for the home-team, but Fred Benson (twice) and Wiljan Pluim led the visitors to victory.
