Ajax striker Steven Bergwijn has had to withdraw from the team due to a knee injury. Ronald Koeman has selected Joey Veerman from PSV and Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund as the replacements for Bergwijn.
The Netherlands will start their campaign by playing against France in Paris on Friday, followed by a game against Gibraltar at De Kuip three days later.
This match against France will mark the beginning of Ronald Koeman's second term as the team's coach.
Ronald Koeman was announced as the new head coach for the Dutch national team before the World Cup last year. However, Louis van Gaal oversaw the team's progress to the quarter-finals of the Qatar 2022 tournament.
