🚨 Netherlands squad for the World Cup, Frimpong the surprise omission | OneFootball

Big names.

This Wednesday afternoon, Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman unveiled the list of 26 players selected for the 2026 World Cup.

The Dutch will be able to rely on their key players: Memphis, Frenkie de Jong, Virgil van Dijk, Tijjani Reijnders, as well as Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch.

The big surprise, however, is the absence of Jérémie Frimpong, Liverpool’s right-back!

Emmanuel Emegha, Strasbourg’s striker, is also absent from the list, unlike OM midfielder Quinten Timber, who is indeed included!

Also worth noting is the call-up of Jurriën Timber — Quinten’s brother — the Arsenal defender, despite having been injured for several weeks.

Xavi Simons is obviously absent after suffering a cruciate ligament rupture in April.

As a reminder, the Netherlands are in Group F alongside Sweden, Japan, and Tunisia.
