“Oranje” suffer a personnel blow.
Unwelcome news for Netherlands fans. The official Netherlands national team account on social media platform X announced today that 25-year-old central midfielder Quinten Timber will miss the upcoming World Cup match against Sweden.
Reports indicate that Timber sustained a mild concussion during a training session after colliding with a teammate. In an effort to prioritize his health and safety, the coaching staff has decided to sideline him for the match.

Timber participated in the Netherlands’ opening World Cup match against Japan, where he came off the bench in the 70th minute to replace Tijjani Reijnders, although he did not contribute any goals during that game.
