Joeri Heerkens, a 20-year-old goalkeeper, makes his debut in the Jong Oranje selection. He currently plays for Jong Ajax in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie. Thijmen Blokzijl, a central defender and captain of FC Groningen, replaces Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro and Wouter Goes of AZ in the decisive two-match series against Jong Denemarken.
Blokzijl was initially not called up, but is now part of the Jong Oranje selection. He played in all three matches during the previous international period. Jong Oranje will play the first match against Jong Denemarken in Denmark on Thursday, with the return match taking place in the Netherlands on Monday.
