According to reporter Mick van Wely, PSV winger Ruben van Bommel will not face a suspension for his hard collision with Ajax centre-back Aaron Bouman, as Eredivisie officials did not launch a formal investigation.

In the 80th minute of Ajax's 1–3 defeat to PSV, Ruben van Bommel arrived late to the challenge and struck Bouman hard during an aerial duel. The two collided violently, and Bouman fell to the ground in clear pain.

Referee Sander van der Eijk showed the PSV player a yellow card, while VAR referee Pol van Boekel did not intervene. This decision caused significant controversy on ESPN and among fans after the match.

Referee supervisor Raymond van Mine told De Telegraaf on Sunday that both Van der Eijk and Pol van Boekel made an error. Van Mine believes Ruben van Bommel should have been sent off with a red card.

Van Mine said: "This is a confrontation between Ruben van Bommel and Bouman, and we believe Van Bommel attacked his opponent with such force and speed that it endangered Bouman's safety. In short, in our view, this should have been a red card."

However, Ruben van Bommel need not worry about a suspension. Because the incident was deemed incorrectly handled by the referee team, no formal investigation was initiated.

On Sunday afternoon, Ajax announced Bouman's injury through its official website. The 19-year-old defender was taken to the hospital immediately after the match.

Medical examination revealed that Bouman suffered bruising to his ribs and lungs. Ajax is expected to be without the player for an extended period. According to club sources, Bouman will miss matches against Fortuna Sittard, Willem II, and Excelsior. Bouman himself hopes to return to action for Ajax after the international break.
