Netherlands Lose De Roon For EURO 2024 Campaign Due To Injury

De Roon picked up the injury in the Coppa Italia final against Juventus a fortnight ago and missed Atalanta's last three games of the season, including the Europa League final victory over Bayer Leverkusen last week.

The 33-year-old had been named in the provisional 30-man squad by Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman but he has now announced he will not be fit enough to add to his 42 international caps in Germany.

"I can't imagine I've had a week in my career, or in my life, that has had so many ups and downs. Lost the Coppa Italia, couldn't play the final, win the Europa League," De Roon posted on social media on Monday.

"In that last euphoric state, I spent a lot of time with the medical staff: it turns out I can't play the Euros.

"I will get over it, I will watch the squad and my friends as a fan, but for now it's a very tough day."

Netherlands will play France, Austria and Poland in the group stage at EURO 2024.
