Ronald Koeman`s Netherlands team will play against Spain in Valencia for the second leg of their UEFA Nations League quarterfinal tie, following a 2-2 draw in the first leg. The winner of this match will advance to the semifinals in June to face the winner of the Croatia vs. France match. After being eliminated in the semifinals of Euro 2024 by England, the Netherlands are set to compete against the team that triumphed in the most recent major European tournament, which includes winger Lamine Yamal.
Yamal is anticipated to earn his 19th cap for the Spanish national team, playing alongside Nico Williams and Alvaro Morata. Inigo Martinez, Marc Casado, and Bryan Zaragoza are unavailable for selection by manager Luis de la Fuente due to injuries. The Netherlands will be without Denzel Dumfries of Inter and Jerdy Schouten, both withdrawing from the training camp due to injuries. Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United and Quinten Timber of Feyenoord were not included in Koeman`s squad.
