The head coach of the Netherlands national team, Ronald Koeman, was accused of punishing Barcelona's retired player Frenkie de Jong. The 28-year-old footballer missed the remaining three matches of the Catalans due to problems with hamstrings.

It's clear that the midfielder won't be back on the field any time soon, but will need to get in shape before the start of the season.

Koeman's words to guide The Touchline:.

" Sometimes I think that injuries can be shorter, even though it allows gravel people to prefer. But we still suspect that we will return to our best condition."

At the group stage of the Emergency 2026, the Netherlands team will be expected to play matches against Japan and Tunisia, and the third opponent of the “Orange” will appear in the bag of stick fights.

It was previously reported that Barcelona would be the heir of Tottenham.
