Aké doubt for upcoming Netherlands matches: defender sidelined for several weeks

Aké suffered a right hamstring strain in Fenerbahçe's Champions League draw with Slavia Prague and is expected to miss three weeks, putting his availability for Netherlands' Nations League matches in doubt.

Nathan Aké picked up a right hamstring strain during Fenerbahçe's 2-2 Champions League match against Slavia Prague on Tuesday, forcing him off after 21 minutes. The Turkish club confirmed he will be sidelined for approximately three weeks, ruling him out of upcoming fixtures including the Intercontinental Derby against Galatasaray and Liverpool's Champions League visit. With the Netherlands' Nations League opener against Greece scheduled for 13 November, followed by a trip to Germany three days later, Aké's participation in the international break is now uncertain.
