Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has withdrawn from the Netherlands squad due to injury.

The Oranje confirmed the news on Monday, although there’s been no word from Barca yet. Reports suggest the midfielder has a minor hamstring strain.

Frenkie de Jong & Steven Bergwijn will not join Oranje's training camp in Zeist due to injuries. They will be replaced by Donyell Malen (Borussia Dortmund) & Joey Veerman (PSV).
