AMSTERDAM : Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal included injured Barcelona forward Memphis Depay and uncapped teenager Xavi Simons in his 26-man squad for the World Cup, but left out veteran goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen.
But Van Gaal had already said his top scorer would be certain of a place as long as there was a chance of him playing during the tournament. Van Gaal sprung a surprise in goal by leaving out 33-year-old Cillessen, who rejoined his old club NEC Nijmegen from Valencia this summer in the hope of reviving his international career.Defenders: Nathan Ake , Daley Blind , Virgil van Dijk , Denzel Dumfries , Jeremie Frimpong , Matthijs de Ligt , Tyrell Malacia , Jurrien Timber , Stefan de Vrij
