National coach Ronald Koeman has decided not to include Joshua Zirkzee and Justin Kluivert in the Dutch selection for the Nations League match against Hungary. That became clear on Saturday.
Both players are not on the UEFA list. Koeman already said at the press conference on Friday that two players would be dropped, because there are only 23 players allowed in the match selection. He did not want to say which one yet, but it now appears that it concerns Zirkzee and Kluivert.
Kluivert last played an international match six years ago, Zirkzee was in the starting line-up once in the last international match and he came on as a substitute against Germany. Koeman has reserved a place in the selection for Donyell Malen, Cody Gakpo, Noa Lang and Ajax players Brian Brobbey and Wout Weghorst.
The Dutch national team will play against Hungary in the Johan Cruijff Arena on Saturday evening at 8:45 PM. Next Tuesday the opponent will be Bosnia and Herzegovina.
