Unfortunately Dilrosun has been pretty much continuously injured since his debut for you guys. He tore a muscle in that game, then had problems with the back and now the muscle injury is causing problems again. Doesn't look like he will feature at all in the rest of the season in Germany.

does anyone else think england will be the next team to produce the golden generation. i mean rashford,Sancho,Sterling,Hudson odi, foden, Alexander-Arnold,gomez, Loftus Cheek,mount,Rice,Chilwell,stones. I think the only thing they need maybe is upgrade striker to that of kane.at international level kane hasnt been lethal compared to as at club level. but again the recent form of their wingers could well be decisive if he he not on target or rashford could well be an option up front. Nation Cup win will defintely pave the way for this. for NT, there is a possibility there could be a golden generation in making between22--28 especially when the guys who moved abroad at an early age get a shot at top flight.obviously De Ligt and frenkie will be there.Pierie move to Ajax is also a top prospect in making.schuurs and van drongelen wont be much behind respectively. others like sandler, Hoever, bakker if they make it to the their respective first teams should add to list in midfield gravenberch,eiting,lang would become main stay in ajax mid with naci unuvar on the horizon. van der beek could be at top club as well with Reis whom barcelona has been closing monitoring also in the mix. even a loan in la liga could be a step stone him. Orkun Kokcu would be starter at feyenoord and xavi simons hovering in the middle as well. upfront there would be bombardment. Im very much looking forward to seeing PSV contingent next season and I hope van bommel wont disappoint in unleashing these guys. Lammers, Gakpo,Ihattaren,Malen. adekanye is destined to leave liverpool on his way to Lazio to kick start top flight in serie A. out of all the wingers I rate him the best and with highest ceiling. juan familia Castillo is also on his way out from chelsea. Tahith Chong could be as well on loan. question mark on where but defintely they have high ceiling as well. stengs and boadu by then would be out of AZ and probably playing abroad or if not in top 3. kluivert could be a regular at Roma with ever improving performance then there are others like redan, brobbery, venema, vente, zirkzee, sierhuis, Piroe who all could well be playing in top flight either in eredivisie or abroad.
And if he's not they will turn him into one in the epl....as with many other Dutch kids. I donot want anybody in an Orange shirt who hasnot gotten submerged in the Eredivisie and Dutch soccer philosophy.
It could be that the English profit if Ajax and Liverpool go into the final as that is scheduled june the 1st. Five days later we play in the NL against England, so we get less rest and have less time to prepare for the match.
Most England fans have been very impressed by The Orange recently. You have some great young players coming through; De Jong, De Beek and De Ligt not to mention established players such as Van Dijk, Wijnaldum and Memphis. It’s a great mixture and getting even better. The key questions for me are, can we get past your formidable defence? How can we stop The Orange controlling midfield? Not easy tasks.
I think there are eleven players on the English NT that will be in the Champions League final while only two Dutch players will be there.
Jadon Sancho is dangerous. Same as Sterling, Barkley, Lingard and Rashford. As NT, England can choke.
Nations League Complete voorselectie: Patrick van Aanholt Nathan Aké Ryan Babel Donny van de Beek Steven Berghuis Steven Bergwijn Marco Bizot Daley Blind Jasper Cillessen Virgil van Dijk Denzel Dumfries Frenkie de Jong Luuk de Jong Terrence Kongolo Matthijs de Ligt Memphis Depay Quincy Promes Davy Pröpper Marten de Roon Pablo Rosario Kevin Strootman Kenny Tete Kenneth Vermeer Tonny Vilhena Stefan de Vrij Wout Weghorst Georginio Wijnaldum Jeroen Zoet
Largely the same squad as before, rather disappointing Either Koeman became lazy to scout, or he has found his "comfort" team. I personally believe new bloods are needed not only to test young players, but also to keep the current members from being complacent. A few U21's that I would at least include in the provisional: Steng… nice comeback from horrifying injury Koopmeiners... poor man's Frenkie De Jong, set-piece specialist Reis... voted best Groningen player this season Kik Pierie… strong display all season, can fill in LB
I might also add Veltman who has been superb for Ajax since his return and can solve the RB defensive issues. Not to mention Danjuma, who can also be very important for Oranje in the next few years.
Squad confirmed. Out: Zoet, Kongolo, Tete, Rosario, Berghuis and Weghorst. Goalkeepers: Jasper Cillessen (Barcelona), Marco Bizot (AZ), Kenneth Vermeer (Feyenoord) Defenders: Patrick van Aanholt (Crystal Palace), Nathan Ake (AFC Bournemouth), Daley Blind (Ajax), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Denzel Dumfries (PSV), Hans Hateboer (Atalanta Bergamo), Matthijs de Ligt (Ajax), Stefan de Vrij (Internazionale) Midfielders: Donny van de Beek (Ajax), Frenkie de Jong (Ajax), Davy Pröpper (Brighton & Hove Albion), Marten de Roon (Atalanta Bergamo), Kevin Strootman (Olympique Marseille), Tonny Vilhena (Feyenoord), Georginio Wijnaldum (Liverpool) Attackers: Ryan Babel (Fulham), Steven Bergwijn (PSV), Memphis Depay (Olympique Lyon), Luuk de Jong (PSV), Quincy Promes (Sevilla)
Koeman refused to rule out the possibility of being Barca coach next season. I hope he was just toying with the journalists. I truly believe leaving your home country's NT for a club is kinda shameful.
What I hope to see: Cillessen Dumfries - de Vrij - van Dijk - van Aanholt de Jong van de Beek - Wijnaldum Bergwijn - Memphis - Promes Unfortunately Babel will probably be involved and Blind will probably play over van Aanholt.
