UEFA releases Netherlands squad: Van den Berg not included

Van den Berg excluded from squad for Greece match; Brentford defender can debut earliest against Germany on Monday.

Sepp van den Berg has been left out of the Netherlands squad for Friday's Nations League match against Greece, the UEFA selection list confirmed. The 24-year-old Brentford defender was called up after Virgil van Dijk's withdrawal but did not make the final 24-player cut.

Van den Berg can make his debut at the earliest on Monday against Germany. Xavi's squad contains no other potential debutants, with Denzel Dumfries now the most experienced outfield player on 80 caps following Van Dijk's absence. Frenkie de Jong, who captains the side against Greece, has 70 international appearances.
