Lutsharel Geertruida, Ruben van Bommel, and Guus Til headline a PSV-heavy selection as Oranje targets the top of Group B in high-stakes clashes against Greece and Germany.

Xavi Hernandez has announced his second squad as Netherlands head coach, with three PSV players earning places for the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Greece and Germany.

Lutsharel Geertruida, Ruben van Bommel and Guus Til have all been selected, giving PSV a strong presence in the latest Oranje squad as the Netherlands prepare for two important matches in Group B.

Geertruida and Van Bommel were also included in Xavi’s previous selection. However, Geertruida was forced to withdraw after sustaining an injury during the international break, meaning the defender will now have another opportunity to work with the new national team coach.

Van Bommel, meanwhile, will be hoping to build on his previous involvement after making his Netherlands debut during the last international window.

Guus Til Returns to the Netherlands Squad

Til is another notable inclusion. The PSV midfielder was initially left out of Xavi’s previous squad but eventually received a call-up after Justin Kluivert withdrew through injury.

This time, Til has earned his place from the outset, giving him an opportunity to strengthen his position in the national team setup.

The squad also features several former PSV players, including Donyell Malen, Denzel Dumfries, Noa Lang, Cody Gakpo and Joey Veerman.

The Netherlands have two significant assignments ahead as they look to finish top of their Nations League group.

A victory over Greece could put Oranje in a strong position. Depending on the result, a draw against Germany may then be enough to secure first place in Group B.
