Dutch coach Frank de Boer has announced that defender Matthias de Ligt will miss the Euro 2020 group stage due to a pelvic injury.

“If it was very important, we would have tried to get De Ligt, but we don’t want to take the risk,” de Boer told a news conference.
He indicated that it is possible for Ajax Amsterdam defender, Jörn Timber, to replace De Ligt in tomorrow’s match.

Goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen is absent from the Dutch national team at Euro 2020 due to infection with the Corona virus.

De Boer explained that veteran goalkeeper Martin Stecklenburg (38 years) will take over the goalkeeper.

Despite all the debate in Holland, Frank de Boer is determined to play 5-3-2.
