Beukema and Lang miss out for Netherlands, Napoli call-ups listed | OneFootball

With the international break just around the corner, several Napoli players are preparing to leave Castel Volturno to answer the calls of their respective federations.

Napoli, Beukema and Lang excluded from the Netherlands: here are all the Azzurri called up for the national teams

Two absences, however, make the news: Sam Beukema and Noa Lang have not been called up by the Dutch technical commissioner for the October commitments. A choice that surprises, especially in the case of the defender, who has been performing well with the Azzurri jersey.

Coach Gattuso, on the other hand, has confirmed the presence of the Italians Meret, Di Lorenzo, and Politano among the call-ups for the senior national team.

First call-up for Milinkovic-Savic with Serbia

The most important news concerns Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who receives his first call-up as a Napoli player. The Serbian midfielder has been called up for the matches against Albania and Andorra, and will have his first experience with the national team as an Azzurri player.

However, the injured Buongiorno and Rrahmani will remain in Napoli, continuing their respective recovery programs under the supervision of the club's medical staff.

All Napoli players called up for the national teams

Below is the complete list of Napoli players called up for the upcoming international commitments:

ITALY – Meret, Di Lorenzo, Politano (vs Estonia and Israel) ITALY U21 – Marianucci (vs Sweden and Armenia) SERBIA – Milinkovic-Savic (vs Albania and Andorra) SLOVAKIA – Lobotka (vs Northern Ireland and Luxembourg) BELGIUM – De Bruyne (vs Macedonia and Wales) NORTH MACEDONIA – Elmas (vs Belgium and Kazakhstan) CAMEROON – Anguissa (vs Mauritius and Angola) SCOTLAND – McTominay, Gilmour (vs Greece and Belarus) DENMARK – Hojlund (vs Belarus and Greece)

Are Beukema and Lang out of the Netherlands' plans?

The exclusions of Beukema and Lang represent two different cases. For the central defender, the decision seems to be linked to a rotation strategy, with the Dutch CT intending to test new defensive solutions. Lang, on the other hand, continues to pay for an inconsistent performance in the league, also due to some physical problems that have limited his continuity. Both will remain available to Conte at Castel Volturno, where they can recover energy and prepare for the resumption of the championship.

The post-break schedule: immediate big match for Napoli

Upon returning from the national teams, Napoli will face a challenging schedule. The Azzurri will face Genoa tonight and Torino's former Baroni and Simeone at the resumption, before returning to the field for the decisive Champions League challenges. The break will therefore represent a valuable opportunity to manage the forces, recover the injured and present themselves at their best for the resumption of the season.
