The Netherlands kick off their Euro qualifying campaign away to France on the 24th before hosting Gibraltar.
Koeman has finalised his squad and there are places for Mats Wieffer (Feyenoord), Lutsharel Geertruida (Feyenoord) and Bert Verbruggen (Anderlecht). Sven Botman of Newcastle United could also make his debut.
Georginio Wijnaldum returns to the squad, but there is no place for in-form Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong, who is in the U21s along with Ryan Gravenberch.
The full squad can be seen below.

It is simply ridiculous that kenny Tete and Frimpong who are having GREAT SEASONS are not part of the squad. Daley Blind is not even playing at Bayern and he has retired. SERIOUSLY?
Blind is in for his 100th caps. They will cheer for him in his last Oranje match against Gibraltar. He will announced retirement after that.
How is it Tete is not included despite his good form in the most competitive league in europe? So guess timber will be Dumfries duputy as he is the only player in the squad that can play RB.
I thought koeman would not made the same van gaal mistake but again klassen, berghuis are selected..
How also noppert is overlooked?
I don’t know what logic in bringing back wijnaldum as he should be retiring now. His club time and form isn’t that great. Myabe due to koopmeiners injury.
Matusiwa should be call upon ahead of De Roon. He is the best Defensive midfielder available now. He is in one of the top league in europe . his club is 3rd now ( joint with leaders PSG) in Goal difference in the league. They also the 2nd top most team without losing and unbeaten for the past more than 5 matches in a row. Dutch N’golo Kante some says.
