Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber remains the biggest fitness question mark in the camp. While he has been included in the 26-man list, he is a major doubt for Saturday’s Champions League final against PSG and potentially the World Cup itself. Koeman has already placed Ian Maatsen and Lutsharel Geertruida on standby should Timber fail to prove his fitness in the coming days. Meanwhile, Bournemouth's Justin Kluivert has made a timely return to the fold after surgery.
Speaking on his selection of the Bournemouth winger, Koeman said: "We’ve selected Kluivert because he’s recovered well from his surgery. He hasn’t played much, but we deliberately let him train for two days so we could see for ourselves. I’m impressed by how fit he looks. We’ve still got two weeks to go."
The Oranje boss also commented on Memphis Depay's situation, admitting: "I would have preferred him to have had more playing time. He’s set to start for Corinthians tonight, so we’ll have to wait and see. I have changed my mind, though. Looking back, I wasn’t sure whether I should have started him at Euro 2024. So I might do things differently next time."
