Probable Netherlands starting XI: who will replace De Jong against Germany?

The Netherlands face Germany on Monday, three days after thrashing Greece 7-0 at the Johan Cruyff ArenA. National team coach Xavi is expected to name Teun Koopmeiners as Frenkie de Jong's replacement, Voetbalzone predicts. The match at the Olympiastadion in Berlin kicks off at 20:45, with live coverage on NPO3.

Having withdrawn through injury on Saturday, De Jong will miss the match in Berlin. Xavi had already ruled out Virgil van Dijk and Brian Brobbey, who missed the seven-goal rout of Greece.

Bart Verbruggen will start in goal on German soil on Monday. Xavi will keep the same defence, with Denzel Dumfries, Jan Paul van Hecke, Micky van de Ven and Jurriën Timber starting from right to left.

Having come on against Greece, Koopmeiners will take De Jong's place in midfield. Joey Veerman and Tijjani Reijnders complete the Netherlands' midfield.

Up front, Xavi will keep the same trio. Crysencio Summerville opened the scoring against Greece and gets another chance on the right. Donyell Malen, who also scored, will start as the central striker, while Cody Gakpo must provide a threat from the left.

The Netherlands top Nations League Group B with eleven points from five matches. Germany trail Xavi's side by three points and are third.

On Friday, Germany gained confidence with a 3-1 victory away to Serbia. Florian Wirtz was among the scorers for national team coach Jürgen Klopp's side.

When the Netherlands and Germany met in Amsterdam in September, the visitors looked set to win until Gakpo made it 1-1 in stoppage time.

This will be the fiftieth meeting between the two countries. Germany have won eighteen times, compared with twelve wins for the Netherlands, and nineteen matches have ended in draws. The Netherlands have scored 80 goals and conceded 91.
