On Friday, the Dutch Football Association revealed that Ian Maatsen and Mats Wieffer have been selected for a 23-man squad to compete in the Nations League matches against Hungary and Germany this month.

Neither Maatsen from Aston Villa nor Wieffer from Brighton & Hove Albion cut the preliminary squad released by coach Ronald Koeman two weeks ago for the upcoming match against Hungary in Budapest next Friday, as well as the showdown with Germany in Munich on October 14.

The recent selections follow the unfortunate injury of Jerdy Schouten during his match with PSV Eindhoven last weekend, sidelining him for the next month. Additionally, Jan Paul van Hecke exacerbated a groin injury while playing for Brighton on September 22.

Nathan Ake is at the top of a growing list of unavailable players, which also includes Arsenal striker Jurrien Timber and Ajax Amsterdam forward Wout Weghorst. The Manchester City defender picked up an injury during the Netherlands’ recent clash with Germany, which concluded in a 2-2 stalemate in Amsterdam on September 10.
