Netherlands announce squad for October International break

The Netherlands won their last two qualifier matches in September

Ronald Koeman has named the star-studded Netherlands squad for the upcoming October international matches.

The Dutch will play two UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier matches against France and Greece. They are a part of Group B along with France, Greece, Gibraltar and Ireland.

Koeman's men currently sit second in the league table and level on points with Greece. However, they have played a game less and will look to cut the lead at the top of the table.

France will be a tough opponent in the first game. They lead the qualification group and the youngsters from France are on the top of their form with their respective teams.

Nick Olij gets his first call from the Netherlands team. Netherlands have less experience this time when it comes to the number one choice. Frenkie de Jong, Matthijs de Ligt, Cody Gakpo and Memphis Depay are all out injured. This will be a huge miss for the Dutch side.

Jeremie Frimpong will eye his first international cap. He is one of the most in-form players in the squad.
