AZ Alkmaar's Mexx Meerdink and PSV's Guus Til have been added to the Netherlands men's football squad as late replacements for the Nations League match against Germany. The squad, under coach Xavi Hernandez, is led by Xavi Hernandez. The additions come as replacements for Justin Kluivert and Donyell Malen, who withdrew due to injuries.
Til, 28, has eight caps in his career and scored twice for PSV against Twente Enschede. Meerdink, 23, aims to earn his first cap and had previously scored AZ's only goal against Telstar. With the pair's inclusion, five Eredivisie players now feature in the 26-man squad. This will be the first match for Xavi Hernandez as head coach since his appointment last month.
