Euro 2024, the Netherlands's pre-conveners

Somewhat of a surprise decision by Holland coach Ronald Koeman, who, in the list of 30 preconvened players ahead of the European Championships scheduled for this summer, did not opt for Joshua Zirkzee, who is currently injured due to a muscle problem in the left thigh flexors suffered in the Naples match.

The Bologna striker, who currently boasts 11 goals and 5 assists, barring any sensational twists and turns will not take part in the European Championship scheduled for Germany. Present, however, among the Serie A players are De Vrij, Dumfries, Koopmeiners, De Roon and Reijnders. At the moment, Koeman has issued a list of 30 players, waiting to announce the final list in a few weeks. Here are the call-ups.

GOALKEEPERS: Justin Bijlow, Mark Flekken, Nick Olij, Bart Verbruggen

DEFENDERS: Natan Aké, Daley Blind, Denzel Dumfries, Matthijs De Ligt, Stefan De Vrij, Jeremie Frimpong, Lutsharel Geertruida, Ian Maatsen, Virgil Van Dijk, Micky Van de Ven

MIDFIELDERS: Frenkie De Jong, Marten De Roon, Ryan Gravenberch, Teun Koopmeiners, Tijjani Reijnders, Jerdy Schouten, Xavi Simons, Quinten Timber Q., Joey Veerman, Georgino Wijnaldum

FORWARDERS: Steven Bergwijn, Brian Brobbey, Memphis Depay, Cody Gakpo, Donyell Malen, Wout Weghorst
