Jong Oranje are unlikely to automatically qualify for the Euros next year but know that two wins in their final two games will put them in a good position to be one of the best four runner’s up, who enter the play-offs. Netherlands face Turkey on the 6th of October before a trip to Cyprus five days later.
Fred Grim has named a strong provisional squad with Ajax duo Jairo Riedewald and Riechedly Bazoer included, as well as Feyenoord’s Tonny Vilhena, Lazio’s Ricardo Kishna and Manchester United’s Timothy Fosu-Mensah. There is no place for Memphis Depay, who could have been included after missing out on the full national team’s squad.
The full provisional squad, which will be finalised next week, is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Hidde Jurjus (PSV), Mickey van der Hart (PEC Zwolle), Maarten de Fockart (Heerenveen)
Defenders: Nathan Ake (Bournemouth), Joshua Brenet (PEC Zwolle), Wesley Hoedt (Lazio), Karim Rekik (Marseille), Jairo Riedewald (Ajax), Hans Hateboer (Groningen), Lucas Woudenberg (Feyenoord), Derrick Luckassen (AZ), Timothy Fosu-Mensah (Manchester United), Jerry St Juste (Heerenveen), Kevin Diks (Fiorentina)
Midfielders: Donny van de Beek (Ajax), Joris van Overeem (AZ), Yassin Ayoub (Utrecht), Tonny Vilhena (Feyenoord), Riechedly Bazoer (Ajax), Daley Sinkgraven (Ajax), Thom Haye (Willem II)
Attackers: Anwar El Ghazi (Ajax), Ricardo Kishna (Lazio), Kingsley Ehizibue (PEC Zwolle), Queensy Menig (PEC Zwolle), Vincent Vermeij (Heracles), Dabney Dos Santos (AZ), Patrick Joosten (Utrecht), Jean-Paul Boetius (Basel)
