The Netherlands close out their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign at home to the Republic of Ireland on the 18th of November before a trip to Gibraltar three days later. Only one win is needed to seal a place at the tournament.
Koeman has decided to only name players that are 100% fit in the provisional squad, meaning those coming back from injury such as Cody Gakpo, Noa Lang, Frenkie de Jong, Memphis Depay and Sven Botman are all missing. However, they could be added at a later date.
PSV Eindhoven midfielder Jerdy Schouten has returned to the squad after an impressive start to the season, while Feyenoord stopper Justin Bijlow is also included.
The only notable absentee is Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, who has not earned his spot back despite impressing in England.
The final squad will be announced on Friday the 10th of November.

Not including Gravenberch is a joke. Heโs fit and in form! FdJโs partner in my opinion. When fit, we should look something like this (IMO):
Bijlow
Timber van Dijk Akรฉ
Dumfries de Jong Gravenberch Maatsen
Gakpo
Bergwijn Memphis
De Ligt
Botman
Geertruida
Frimpong
Malacia
Veerman
Schouten
Simons
Lang
Malen
Flekken
Verbruggen
How can you leave out Reijnders?
What about Reijnders and Gravenbach either side of Frenkie
Just need someone to step up and claim the no.9 position. Holding out hope Brobbey might fufil his potential.
Would like to see how this front 6 goes:
Frenkie
Reijnders Gravenback
Lang Brobbey Gakpo
Yup gravenberch is FDJ partner …Agreed.

I can easily leave him out, and want to put Koopmeiners ahead of Schouten. Either way, he has yet to prove himself. He has 1.5 good games with the national team and neither with de Jong. We will need to wait and see once he gets bought by a big club and if he excels or disappears.
