Koopmeiners Injury: the statement

No trip to Frankfurt, so reads the official note from the Netherlands: «Teun Koopmeiners will not go to Frankfurt with the team. The midfielder was injured against Scotland and will not be able to recover in time for the match against Germany».

How many matches he will miss and what he has

It took only 8 minutes plus stoppage time for the former Az Alkmaar to stop in the match with Scotland after coming on for Wijnaldum. For now, as reported by Sky Sport, it seems to be just a contusion that will prevent Teun from joining the next national team commitments, but in the coming days, he will undergo instrumental examinations to shed light on his condition. In doubt is the match with Napoli next weekend, but if the contusion is confirmed, then he might also return for the 30th round or at the latest in the following one.
