Mondial-2026: la liste des Pays-Bas
Depay, 32, the all-time leading scorer for the Oranje national team (55 goals in 108 appearances), was sidelined for two months due to a thigh injury.
He made his return to the Brazilian league last weekend, playing 34 minutes. His club record this season has been meager: just one goal in 13 matches since January, but Koeman "cannot do without a player of his caliber if he is fit," the national team coach explained.
Most of the notable absentees were already known, such as Xavi Simons (Tottenham), Matthijs De Ligt (Manchester United) all unavailable, as well as Stefan De Vrij (Inter Milan) who was injured this weekend in Serie A.
The key players are all in the mix: goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, defenders Virgil van Dik and Denzel Dumfries, midfielders Frenkie De Jong and Tijani Reijnders and striker Cody Gakpo.
The Netherlands have been drawn into Group F where they will face Japan, Sweden and Tunisia.
