Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman named injured pair Matthijs de Ligt and Memphis Depay in the squad for his side’s upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers.

Juventus centre-back De Ligt missed Wednesday’s Champions League win at Lokomotiv Moscow with an ankle injury, while Depay will sit out Lyon’s Ligue 1 game against rivals Marseille this weekend with a thigh problem.

But Donyell Malen, who has scored 16 goals for PSV Eindhoven this season, does miss out through injury.

Koeman has handed first call-ups to AZ Alkmaar youngsters Myron Boadu and Calvin Stengs.

The Germans will take on Belarus on November 16 before facing Northern Ireland in their final qualifying match three days later.

Loew still has problems to deal with at the back, with defenders Niklas Suele, Antonio Ruediger and Thilo Kehrer all injured and World Cup-winners Jerome Boateng and Mats Hummels still frozen out of the side.

Matthias Ginter, captain of Bundesliga leaders Borussia Moenchengladbach, is in the squad, alongside Freiburg’s Robin Koch, who made his international debut last month.
