The Royal Dutch Football Association announced in a statement that Virgil van Dijk, captain of the Netherlands national team and Liverpool FC, will miss the team’s upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Greece and Germany.
Striker Bryan Roy of Sunderland FC has also been ruled out of the Netherlands squad, as neither player was in physical condition to participate following the club matches they played earlier in the week. Head coach Luis Enrique will not call up replacements for them.
The Netherlands currently top Group 2 of League A of the competition, level on eight points with their closest rival, Greece.
The Netherlands will host Greece next Friday, before traveling to face Germany next Monday, in the final two group matches. The top two teams in each group will advance to the knockout stage, scheduled to take place in March.
