An ankle injury has ruled out Netherlands player Frenkie de Jong from Euro 2024.
The Barcelona star would not be available for the 2024 European Championship in Germany, according to the Dutch soccer association.
The Dutch team's hopes have been severely harmed as midfielder Frenkie de Jong is unable to play in the European Championship due to an ankle injury.
The Barcelona player's availability for Euro 2024 in Germany was declared by the Dutch soccer organization following Ronald Koeman's team's 4-0 victory over Iceland in their final warm-up. On Monday, De Jong observed from the sidelines in Rotterdam.
Koeman stated, "He won't be healthy enough to play at this level for the next three weeks." "It serves no purpose to have him here."
Tests "showed that the ankle is not yet sufficiently resilient," which put an end to De Jong's aspirations of participating, according to a statement from Netherlands officials.
Afterwards, Koeman will determine if to summon a substitute. Tijjani Reijnders, a midfielder for AC Milan, filled in for De Jong on Monday.
Teun Koopmeiners, another midfield player, suffered an injury during the warm-up for the Icelandic game, making him questionable for the competition. While waiting for the test results, which are anticipated on Tuesday, Koeman stated, "I have a bad feeling."
