Netherlands Call Up Borussia Dortmund's Ian Maatsen After Frenkie De Jong Injury
The Netherlands added Borussia Dortmund defender Ian Maatsen to their Euro 2024 squad on Tuesday, after losing two key players to injury including talismanic midfielder Frenkie de Jong. Maatsen's call-up was as a replacement for Barcelona star De Jong, who has not recovered from an ankle injury that has dogged him all season, the Dutch Football Association said. Adding to coach Ronald Koeman's woes, midfielder Teun Koopmeiners will also not be going to the tournament in Germany after suffering an injury in the Oranje's final warm-up game against Iceland.
