Ronald Koeman named the Netherlands squad for the 2026 World Cup, a lineup that leans heavily on Premier League talent. Virgil van Dijk earns a spot alongside club teammates Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo, while the team omits Jeremie Frimpong. Arsenal's Jurrien Timber is included despite a March ankle injury that recent at the Gunners.

Only one non‑Premier League player appears: Inter Milan right‑back Denzel Dumfries. The defensive core is packed with Premier League names, including Micky van de Ven from Tottenham and Chelsea’s Jorrel Hato. Brighton sent a trio—Bart Verbruggen, Jan Paul van Hecke and Mats Wieffer—while Manchester City contributed Nathan Ake and Tijjani Reijnders for the upcoming tournament campaign.

Goalkeeping duties split between Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen, Bayer Leverkusen’s Mark Flekken and Sunderland’s Robin Roefs, the last of whom has yet to earn a senior cap. Forward options feature Brian Brobbey from Sunderland, Memphis Depay of Corinthians, and West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville, rounding out a squad that prioritises Premier League experience over domestic diversity for the.

With 15 of 26 players drawn from the Premier League, Koeman’s selection underscores the Dutch side’s reliance on English football. The omission of Frimpong and the inclusion of Timber signal a shift toward players who have proven themselves at the highest club level, a decision that could shape the Netherlands’ fortunes in the 2026 tournament overall.
