Netherlands defender Jurrien Timber missed his country's 2-2 draw with Spain in Thursday’s Nations League quarter-final first leg in Rotterdam through illness and will not recover in time for the return, the Dutch FA said on Friday.
They will also have to do without 19-year-old defender Jorrel Hato, suspended after being red-carded late in Thursday’s game. Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman has added Aston Villa defender Ian Maatsen to his squad as cover.
Maatsen received a similar emergency call-up during last year’s European Championship but is still to win a first cap.
