The Dutch team has recognized serious personnel losses ahead of the 2026 World Championships.
As reported by the Football Federation of the Netherlands, Arsenal manager Jurrien Timber will not be able to help the “Orange” at the tournament due to health problems.
The 24-year-old footballer continues his recovery after a groin injury, following the recommendation of the medical staff, they praised the decision not to risk his retirement. The federation has stated that Timber’s participation in the tournament is medically inconvenient.
It appears that the official will be stripped of his training camp for the national team in New York after the match against Uzbekistan. For the Netherlands, this is a particularly painful loss, since Timber was considered one of the key players in Ronald Koeman’s system and could play in many positions along the defensive line..
Suddenly the coaching staff has already been replaced. Sunderland manager Lutsarel Gertreida was called to the warehouse of the Netherlands.
We guess that Timber recently returned to full training after a painful downtime and took part in the Champions League final at the Arsenal warehouse, replacing him in the other half.. The defender was still unable to reach optimal condition before the start of the World Cup..
