A virus would affect the Dutch team. Five players had to leave the training camp on the eve of the Euro qualifying match against the Blues.
Which team from the Netherlands will appear this Friday evening (9 p.m.) against the Blues ? This is the big question. Ronald Koeman’s team – already handicapped by injuries to Bergwijn, De Jong and Dumfries’ suspension – should be significantly lowered.
On Twitter, the official account of the Dutch team announces that five new players had to leave the training camp this Thursday: Sven Botman, Gakpo, de Ligt, Veerman and Verbruggen. A viral infection would have affected the players of the selection. Three new players have therefore been called up: Vitesse Arnhem goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen, Inter Milan defender Stefan de Vrij and Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch.
