Euro 2020: Van de Beek sidelined by injury
Netherlands has suffered a major blow days before Euro 2020.
Their creative midfielder Donny van de Beek will miss the Euro 2020 campaign after suffering a groin injury.
This is the worst possible news for Donny as he had suffered a miserable season for Manchester United and was looking to make amends in national colours.
The 24-year-old has already withdrawn from the 26-man squad.
Surprisingly, head coach Frank de Boer has not named any replacement.
The deadline for calling a new player remains open until their first game against Ukraine on Sunday evening.
Van de Beek had also missed Netherlands’ two warm-up games against Scotland and Georgia.
His last appearance came in United’s 2-1 win at Wolves on the final day of the Premier League season.
Frustratingly, de Beek was an unused substitute even in the Europa Cup final against Villarreal in Gdansk.
