De Jong suffered an ankle injury in April, the third such injury of the season.
The footballer said on Instagram on Monday that he is disappointed that he will not be able to join the Dutch national team.
“Unfortunately, my ankle needs more time, but like everyone else, I will support the team from the sidelines,” said the athlete.
The team led by Ronald Koeman will play in subgroup D of the European Championship on June 16 against Poland, on June 21 against the French national team, and on June 25 against Austrian football players.
The 2024 European Championship will be held in ten German cities from June 14 to July 14.
The current European champion is Italy, who in 2021 beat England in the final in London in penalty kicks.
