ZEIST, Netherlands (AP) — Netherlands midfielder Donny van de Beek will miss the European Championship because of an injury, the team said Tuesday.
The 24-year-old Van de Beek had hoped to return from a groin injury that limited his playing time last season at Manchester United.
The midfielder is "struggling with an injury,”
Van de Beek scored 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute in the Netherlands’ 7-0 rout of Gibraltar in a World Cup qualifier on March 30.
