The Netherlands’ Injury Woes: Zirkzee’s Euro 2020 Opportunity

For the selectors, the big fear is injuries. And there are nations where this factor occupies more space than in others.

In the Netherlands, Ronald Koeman has seen them accumulate in recent days. Brian Brobbey was injured in training on Wednesday and therefore joined Frenkie de Jong and Teun Koopmeiners in the infirmary.

Zirkzee at the Euro

If Ian Maatsen had already been recalled from Dortmund to compensate for the absences of de Jong and Teun, Joshua Zirkzee was recalled from Bologna to compensate for that of Brobbey. Author of an excellent season with Bologna, his absence in the initial selection surprised a lot of people.

Author of eleven goals and five assists in Serie A, he played a major role in qualifying for the next edition of the Champions League in Bologna. He will therefore be available to Koeman for the first group meeting this Sunday at 3 p.m. against Poland in Hamburg.

The Oranjes will then face France on June 21 and Austria on June 25. A group which is not simple but which should allow the Netherlands to prove that they can be outsiders.
