Van Dijk leaves Netherlands camp

Virgil van Dijk has been released from the Netherlands squad before their Nations League match against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Tuesday.

The Liverpool captain played the 90 minutes of his side's 4-0 victory against Hungary on Saturday which secured second place in Group C and a place in the Nations League quarter-finals in March.

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has also been released by manager Ronald Koeman after making his first international appearance in 13 months following a series of ankle injuries.

"For both Frenkie and Virgil it is better for them to leave the training camp at this moment," Koeman said.
