There is no room for Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek in the Netherlands squad for the World Cup, while one of his compatriots is reportedly enraged by his omission.
Louis van Gaal announced the 26-man squad he will take to Qatar on Friday, with three Premier League players included. Liverpool stalwart Virgil van Dijk will captain the Oranje, while Manchester City defender Nathan Ake and United defender Tyrell Malacia also make the cut.
Malacia will not be joined by Old Trafford teammate Van de Beek, who continues to struggle in a Red Devils shirt and has not scored or assisted in seven appearances this season. Another high-profile absentee from the squad is Jasper Cillessen, who has made 63 appearances for his country and helped Netherlands finish third at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
