Ronald Koeman has named his Netherlands squad for the final World Cup qualifiers against Poland and Lithuania, handing Feyenoord midfielder Luciano Valente a first senior call-up.
According to Football Oranje, Matthijs de Ligt and Noa Lang are recalled, while Stefan de Vrij and Teun Koopmeiners are omitted.
Valente's recent club form has earned selection. Should he play, it would end any option of switching international allegiance to Italy.
Mexx Meersink misses out with injury, and Emanuel Emegha has only just returned from a hamstring problem.
The Netherlands hold a strong position to qualify due to superior goal difference and will aim to seal progression later this month.
