Netherlands predicted XI vs Bosnia as Van Dijk returns to Liverpool

Netherlands travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina for their final group game of the Uefa Nations League on Tuesday. 

The Oranje have already booked their place in the quarter-finals of the competition thanks to a 4-0 win over Hungary at the weekend.

Relegation beckons for the Bosnians, though, as they were destroyed by Germany, who put seven goals past them on Saturday.

Netherlands sit second in Group A3 on eight points and cannot be caught by third-placed Hungary, while Bosnia are bottom with one point from five games.

Netherlands team news

With nothing to play for in this tie, manager Ronald Koeman has allowed Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk and Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong to return to their respective clubs.

“For both Frenkie (De Jong) and Virgil it is better for them to leave the training camp at this moment,” Koeman explained. “That decision was taken on medical grounds, with of course the interest of the players coming first.”

Liverpool says Van Dijk will be assessed when he returns to the club’s training ground ahead of this weekend’s Premier League meeting with Southampton.

Koeman is expected to rotate his starting XI from the one that hammered Hungary at the Johan Cruijff ArenA.

Netherlands predicted lineup

Netherlands XI (4-2-3-1): Mark Flekken; Devyne Rensch, Matthijs de Ligt, Stefan de Vrij, Jorrel Hato; Mats Wieffer, Quinten Timber; Jeremie Frimpong, Teun Koopmeiners, Noa Lang; Brian Bobbey.

When does the game kick off?

Bosnia and Herzegovina will face Netherlands at the Bilino Polje Stadium on Tuesday, 19 November, with kickoff at 19:45 UK time.
