The striker of VFL Wolfsburg shone one day after the 2-1-won international match against Finland also in the game, between the reserves of both countries, due to absence. The Dutch B-team won that meeting on Friday in Leeuwarden 3-0. Shanice van de Sanden was one of the goal scorers.

That goal from the 32-year-old player of the Mexican Toluca is not the main reason why Van de Sanden travels to the Alps with the European Championship selection. It seems that the medical staff is not able to green the light on participation in Euro 2025 for the lovering Lineth Beerensteyn from an injury.
Jonker does not want to pin on the date of comeback Beerensteyn
Although both Beerensteyn and Jonker were quite optimistic about the rehabilitation of the fast attacker last week, there are still doubts about her European Championship participation. In Leeuwarden, Jonker did not want to pin ‘A’ ‘A’ on a date on which Beerensteyn must be there again. It is as a basic player or as a substitute.
Lineth Beerensteyn (28) misses the Orange Leeuwinnen against Finland and cannot guarantee whether she will get European Championships
In other words: the coach, the medical staff and Beerensteyn are increasingly faced with a difficult dilemma. Two of the three group opponents in Switzerland are not the least: England and France. In that respect, it would be strange to take Beerensteyn to the base camp in Spiez, if she cannot be of any value in the group matches. In short: exciting days for Beerensteyn, Jonker and Van de Sanden, who therefore does not have to get the European Championship by heart.
