Qualified for the quarter-finals of the Nations League after their victory against Hungary (4-0) on Saturday evening, the Netherlands are guaranteed to finish second in their group behind Germany. Suffice to say that tomorrow evening’s meeting (8:45 p.m.) against Bosnia is without stakes. Reason why Ronald Koeman decided to rest Virgil van Dijk and Frenkie de Jong. The two players will thus be able to return to their respective clubs, namely Liverpool and FC Barcelona.

The Dutch Federation made the news official: “For Frenkie and Virgil, it’s best that they leave training camp at this time. This decision was taken for medical reasons, the interests of the players being of course paramount” declared Ronald Koeman. Good news for Barça as their midfielder, who is slowly returning from a long injury, will be able to rest and continue to gain strength after a good score against the Hungarians.
