Starts against Sweden
De Jong (lower body) is in the starting lineup for the Netherlands' game against Sweden.
Analysis: De Jong was considered doubtful heading into the game after picking up a lower body issue following a collision with Quinten Timber, though little detail was made available about the severity of the injury. It appears to have been minor however, with the midfielder confirmed in the starting lineup for the Netherlands' second group game against Sweden.
In question to face Sweden
De Jong is uncertain for Saturday's match against Sweden due to an apparent lower-body injury, according to manager Ronald Koeman, per Mike Verveij and Jeroen Kapteijns of De Telegraaf. ""We'll have to wait and see how he reacts. It's an issue below the waist. There were other players involved. Quinten tripped over another player, and his head struck Frenkie."
Analysis: De Jong looks to be a possible absence for the Netherlands decisive match against Sweden, as the midfielder came out of their opener injured alongside fellow midfielder Quinten Timber. This will leave the midfielder to be tested and tried out before the contest, leaving him as a true late call. The team hopes to have him available, as he is a key starter, and Timber (concussion) was likely the first midfield replacement. That said, if de Jong is left out, Guus Til or Marten De Roon would be given the start.
