Nice little return for Thomas to Eindhoven, as Zwolle (13th) travel to runaway Eredivisie winners PSV.
PSV a whopping 19 pts clear of Feyenoord (2nd) with 4 matches left. Damage limitation for Zwolle maybe.

Damage, not so limited. Zwolle lose 6-1.
Was only 2-1 when Thomas subbed off at 70 mins. Hopefully the local fans gave him a nice reception.

Contract extension for Thomas. 👏
He gets an extra year on top of his current deal to take him out to the end of the 27/28 season.

“I would like to stay at PEC Zwolle, that is no secret,” he said after agreeing his new deal.
“The club has always been good to me and the supporters are amazing.
“As long as I can be of value, I will give everything for this club.
The feeling is good on both sides, and that is, of course, the most important thing for a long-term collaboration. I am very happy that I get to continue playing for the club from my city for the next two years as well.”
PEC Zwolle’s technical director, Gerry Hamstra, says Thomas has been one of the driving forces on and off the pitch.
“Ryan can read a game like no other and knows what is required in every phase of a match,” Hamstra said.
“Ryan is also an important part of the team as an example and an extension for the younger players and the coach.
“Together with him, we first want to finish this season well, after which a wonderful World Cup awaits Ryan, and we would like to continue with him next season.”

Zwolle (13th) host Heracles (18th/last). A Zwolle win would be handy to lessen any relegation fears with 3 matches left.

Generous calling this an assist. And is first one of the season, to add to a solitary goal.
That is the negative of having all of Bell, Stamenic and Thomas on the field. The latter likely pushing the more creative Singh to the bench. So a more conservative selection, with Just and McCowatt alongside Wood.
Zwolle win 1-0, and they look safe now from any relegation fears with only 2 games left. Ryan 73 mins.

Ummm..Nicyhe Cache reports he felt a hammy twinge for Zwolle on the weekend.
Now that they are safe from the drop, hopefully he's on limited mins now there, pre heading off Stateside.

Zwolle (12th) travel to Sittard (13th). A draw and Zwolle are 100% safe from the drop.

No Thomas as Zwolle lose 3-2
Results elsewhere mean they will be in the Eredivisie next season

Bit of a nothing final Eredivisie game. Zwolle (13th) host Feyenoord (2nd).

What do the brains trust think?
Resting him as they are already safe?
Injured and not playing?
OPP put in standby for WC?

I’d be more concerned at Joe Bell missing the last 3 Viking games
That’s not normal. Thomas missing a dead rubber Zwolle match is

It's option A – and Bell is similar

Zwolle lost 0-2 to Feyenoord and finish the Eredivisie season 15th, one place but 5 pts above the relegation spots.
A season in which Thomas had his most football mins in about 10 years.
