Netherlands Euro 2020 squad: Full team profile
Everything you need to know about the Netherlands Euro 2020 squad
The Netherlands Euro 2020 squad was one of the first to be confirmed for this summer's tournament.
But Dutch boss Frank De Boer will now have just 25 players to choose from, following an injury to Manchester United midfielder Donny Van de Beek. De Boer decided against choosing a replacement.
The biggest news remains that the Netherlands' star defender and captain Virgil van Dijk will not be playing, having missed all of Liverpool's season through injury – a major blow to the Oranje.
They will nevertheless be expected to progress through their group, which contains Austria, North Macedonia and Ukraine. You can find every Euro 2020 group here.

Netherlands Euro 2020 squad: Team profile
The Dutch squad this time around is punctuated by the losses of defenders. Not only did legendary centre-back Ronald Koeman leave the manager's hot-seat last year for a stab at the Barcelona job, but the Netherlands have also since lost captain Virgil van Dijk to injury.
Elsewhere, young stars Myron Boadu, Justin Kluivert and Mohamed Ihattaren - all present in last autumn's internationals - will not be joining up with the international team this time around, either.
However, midfield starlet Ryan Gravenberch of Ajax has made the Netherlands Euro 2020 squad after picking up his first call-up in March.
Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum will captain the side in clubmate Van Dijk's absence.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
