Dutch team midfielder Frenkie de Jong, insufficiently recovered from an ankle injury, was forced to withdraw from Euro 2024, the Dutch federation (KNVB) announced on Monday June 10 . Medical tests carried out on Sunday and Monday showed that his injured ankle is not yet strong enough, the KNVB said after the friendly match victory against Iceland (4-0) in Rotterdam. The 27-year-old, who has been away from the field since the end of April, will now return to Spain to prepare for next season with his club, FC Barcelona. The Netherlands enter the Euro in Germany on June 16 against Poland, before then facing France on June 21 and Austria on June 25 in Group D.
