Depay pulls out of Netherlands squad from Nations League finals

The Hindu  

Memphis Depay has withdrawn because of injury while Daley Blind and Tijjani Reijnders have been trimmed from the final Netherlands squad for this month’s Nations League finals, the Dutch football association said. Coach Ronald Koeman had named 26 players last week for the finals but had to cut it to 23 by midnight on Monday for the four-team tournament the Dutch are hosting. The 29-year-old Depay suffered a hamstring injury at the end of March during the European Championship qualifier international match against Gibraltar and was sidelined for more than a month. The Dutch began their preparations for the tournament, where Italy and Spain clash in the other semifinal on June 15, and the deciding matches are played on June 18, with a training camp on Monday.
