Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk has openly admitted he disagrees with Louis van Gaal's decision to omit Georginio Wijnaldum from the latest Netherlands squad.
The midfielder was a teammate of Van Dijk's at Anfield up until last summer when he swapped Merseyside for the French capital to join Ligue 1 titans Paris Saint-Germain. It is a move that has hardly played out as planned, with Wijnaldum finding first-team minutes hard to come by.
As a result of being starved of action in Paris, Wijnaldum has now also lost his place in the national team. However, that is a decision that has not gone down well with many of the players in the current Oranje set-up - with Van Dijk just one of many to stick up for the 31-year-old.
