The Netherlands take on Scotland and Germany in their final two warm up matches before the European Championships in the summer.
Ronald Koeman has decided to name Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee and Feyenoord midfielder Quinten Timber in the squad. There is also returns for Marco Bizot and Georginio Wijnaldum.
Sven Botman of Newcastle United misses out along with several Ajax players and Calvin Stengs, who was injured for Feyenoord on Thursday.

It is a good thing to drop out Berghuis, he took his chance and proved that he is a domestic player and can’t play at international level. Wijnaldum also has no place in the squad. Bizot is in a good form and deserves to be called up.
I hope Zirkzee will remain in the final squad and has a chance to play.
Hartman is the only left-back in the squad van de Ven and Ake play in the axis. He could have taken Maatsen.
Disappointing to see management/coaching staff leave Gravenberch out. Hopefully its time to let him heal from recent injury and not continued pettiness for rejecting a u21 call up and opting to settle in at Liverpool. He deserves to play.
Glad to see Zirkzee included. Would like to see Koeman test him out.
Hey guys, why do you think they leave players like Sven Botman and Dalinga out of the squad?
I’m not sure about Thijs Dalinga, but I’m sure Botman is about managing his minutes and recent injury. I don’t know why they continue to add Blind. Now ever more puzzled about their inclusion of Wijnaldum. Hartman, Maatsen, Malacia (hopefully will be fit by Euro’s), Mitchell Bakker and Wijndal, maybe even Meijer should all be considered down the left.
