Ronald Koeman’s Netherlands squad is suffering an injury crisis and another two names were added to the list on Saturday.

The Netherlands face France and Greece next month in two crucial Euro 2024 qualifiers and Koeman names his final squad next week.
Koeman will be without Frenkie de Jong, Matthijs de Ligt, Memphis Depay and Wout Weghorst for the matches and now another two names could be out too.
Sven Botman missed Newcastle United’s 2-0 win over Burnley on Saturday and the centre-back is reportedly suffering an injury that will keep him out for weeks.
Cody Gakpo then injured himself while scoring in Liverpool’s 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur and had to come off. Koeman will be sweating to hear just how bad this issue is for the attacker, who would be leading the line if fit.
Can someone explain to me why in the ABSENCE of DECENT STRIKERS, Geraldo Becker has not been called by Koeman?
Do you mean Sheraldo Becker?
If yes, he’s playing his international football for Suriname.
I’m struggling to see how the Dutch are going to beat the French. The question I would ask is, how many goals are the French going to score against the Netherlands?
