Netherlands midfielder De Jong has been ruled out of the European Championship after failing to recover from an ankle injury, dealing a blow to the team’s chances at the tournament that starts on Friday, June 14.
“He won’t be fit enough to play at this level for the next three weeks,” Koeman said. “There’s no point keeping him with us.” De Jong’s hopes of playing were dashed when tests “showed that the ankle is not yet sufficiently resilient,” Netherlands officials said in a statement. Koeman will decide later whether to call up a replacement. AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders played in midfield in De Jong’s absence on Monday.
Another midfielder, Teun Koopmeiners, was injured while warming up for the Iceland match and was also in doubt for the tournament. Koeman said they were waiting for test results expected on Tuesday, but he added, “I have a bad feeling.”, the 1988 European champion, plays Poland in its first Group D match on Sunday in Hamburg before taking on World Cup runner-up France and completing the group stage against Austria.
