A great milestone for Tijjani Reijnders. The AZ midfielder has been called up for the Orange for the first time by national coach Ronald Koeman. The Dutch national team will play in the Nations League finals next month. There was also good news for Volenda player Joey Veerman, he is also part of the Dutch national team.
Reijnders was already part of the provisional selection of Orange two weeks ago. He was the only AZ player who was called up. PSV player and Volenda player Joey Veerman has also received an invitation.
Ajax players Steven Berghuis, Davy Klaassen and Brian Brobbey were also in the pre-selection, but have dropped out. Former goalkeeper of the team from Amsterdam, Jasper Cillessen, also has to follow the duels from the bench.
