Netherlands take on Germany tonight as the 2026/27 Nations League gets underway.
Two European heavyweights meet at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam, with both nations beginning new eras under new managers.
Former Barcelona midfielder Xavi takes charge of the Dutch for the first time, while Jurgen Klopp returns to a dugout for the first time since leaving Liverpool for his bow debut as Germany boss.
The Netherlands will be without several familiar names, with Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt among those unavailable. Donyell Malen and Justin Kluivert have also withdrawn from the squad through injury.
Memphis Depay, meanwhile, was left out of Xavi's first Netherlands squad, while captain Virgil van Dijk remains involved.
Germany are also making changes under Klopp. The new manager has divided his large initial squad across his opening Nations League fixtures, with Florian Wirtz and Nick Woltemade among the players not selected for this match.
