Memphis Depay and Steven Bergwijn to miss Netherlands' Euro 2024 qualifying trip to Dublin

The Netherlands will have to do without Memphis Depay and Steven Bergwijn for this month's European Championship qualifiers against the Republic of Ireland and Greece.

Depay suffered an injury last week during Atlético Madrid's 7-0 win over Rayo Vallecano, which rules him out of the Dutch squad again, having also missed the Nations League finals in June.

Bergwijn is also injured, having missed out on Thursday for Ajax Amsterdam against Ludogorets Razgrad in the Europa League.

Newcastle United defender Sven Botman, who injured his ankle against Liverpool on Sunday, was also left out by coach Ronald Koeman.

Quilindschy Hartman (Feyenoord), Ian Maatsen (Chelsea) and Micky van de Ven (Tottenham Hotspur) are part of the squad while Ajax attacker Steven Berghuis has also been selected after not being included in the pre-selection that Koeman named a fortnight ago.

The Netherlands take on Greece in Eindhoven on Thursday and then travel to face Ireland in Dublin three days later.
