Last-Minute Call-Up: Joshua Zirkzee Joins Dutch Euro 2024 Squad

Posted : 13 June 2024

Forward Joshua Zirkzee has been added to the Netherlands squad for the European Championship, only hours after coach Ronald Koeman said he did not feel the need to call up another player to fill his quota of 26 for the tournament in Germany.

 

Zirkzee, 23, had been part of the Dutch pre-selection but fallen out of contention through injury. However, having recovered, he gets a reprieve after an injury scare at training on Wednesday when Brian Brobbey had to receive treatment on his hamstring after a clash with defender Matthijs de Ligt.

 

Earlier in the day, Koeman had told a press conference he would not replace both Frenkie de Jong and Teun Koopmeiners, who were ruled out on Monday through injury. Instead, he called up only Ian Maatsen, leaving the Dutch one short of the maximum 26 players for the tournament.

 

Zirkzee, who has yet to win a senior cap, is expected to join the squad on Thursday, the Dutch football association said. His performances in Serie A at Bologna this season have seen him linked with a possible move to several of Europe’s top clubs.

 

The Netherlands open their Euro 2024 campaign against Poland in Hamburg on Sunday.
