De Jong and Bergwijn drop out of the Netherlands squad ahead of France Euro qualifier

Midfielder Frenkie de Jong and winger Steven Bergwijn dropped out of the Netherlands squad to face beaten World Cup finalist France in their opening European Championship qualifier, new coach Ronald Koeman said Monday.

Barcelona star De Jong suffered a thigh injury late in his team's 2-1 victory over archrivals Real Madrid on Sunday.

Bergwijn picked up a knee injury as Ajax lost 3-2 to Feyenoord.

Koeman called up PSV Eindhoven midfielder Joey Veerman to replace De Jong and Borussia Dortmund winger Donyell Malen as a replacement for Bergwijn.

Friday's match at the Stade de France is the first for Ronald Koeman in his second stint in charge of the Netherlands.

His predecessor Louis van Gaal's contract ended after the World Cup in Qatar, where the Netherlands lost on penalties to Argentina in the quarter-finals.
