Newcastle United centre-back Sven Botman has withdrawn from the Holland Under-21 squad - because he wants to focus solely on playing for the Magpies.
The 22-year-old has been overlooked by Louis Van Gaal for the Dutch national side for games in the UEFA Nations League and instead was picked again for the U21s for friendly matches against Belgium and Romania. Botman though has pulled out of Erwin van de Looi's squad this morning.
Botman told the Dutch FA that he wants to focus "exclusively" on Newcastle at this time. The centre-back was dropped by Eddie Howe for the 1-1 draw against AFC Bournemouth.
