Overview

• ESPN-reported updates cited by Yahoo Sports say Dumfries has pulled out with a minor injury and will not face Poland.
• Lutsharel Geertruida is expected to deputise at right-back in Dumfries’ absence.
• Koeman had described Dumfries as a doubt after a training knock, and Italian outlets later reported he will leave camp for precautionary checks at Inter with left-ankle pain.
• A win over Poland would secure the Netherlands' qualification for the 2026 World Cup in a top-of-Group G meeting.
• The squad also lost Quilindschy Hartman to illness and Wout Weghorst after his withdrawal, increasing the selection strain.
