The Dutch FA said coach Xavi Hernandez will keep a 23-player squad as the Netherlands lead Group A2 with 11 points.
- The Netherlands confirmed on Saturday that midfielder Frenkie Jong is ruled out of Monday's UEFA Nations League group decider against Germany in Berlin due to injury.
- Barcelona player Frenkie Jong returned to international action during Friday's victory over Greece in Amsterdam, where he captained the side but was substituted at halftime citing back pain.
- The 29-year-old has a lengthy injury history; he missed September's opening four matches in the Nations League campaign before returning for Friday's clash against Greece.
- Coach Xavi Hernandez will not call up a replacement for Jong, meaning the Netherlands will face Germany with a 23-player squad for the decisive match.
- The Netherlands currently leads Group A2 with 11 points ahead of Germany and Greece, both with eight points; the top two teams advance to quarter-finals.
