The exclusion of Frimpong means he will have to wait a bit longer for his 16th cap. Coach Xavi Hernández had to drop one player from his current group, and Gjivai Zechiël is not included in the selection as he is not available for the match against Serbia. The midfielder had already stated that he would not be fit to play against Serbia. Joshua Zirkzee, the replacement for the injured Brian Brobbey, is in the selection.
The Netherlands is looking for their first win in the Nations League campaign. They played a 1-1 draw against Germany on Thursday. The team will face Germany, Serbia, and Greece in the Nations League 2026/27. The Nations League is the next challenge for the Dutch national team after their disappointing World Cup performance.
Frimpong's exclusion from the selection is a setback for the player, but it also gives him a chance to work on his fitness and come back stronger. The Netherlands will have to focus on their upcoming match against Serbia and try to secure their first win in the Nations League campaign.
The next step for Frimpong will be to work on his fitness and try to get back into the selection for the next match.
