AZ midfielder Kees Smit will be sidelined for the coming weeks with an injury, the club says, ruling him out of the planned return leg for the Netherlands’ under-21 side against Denmark on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old missed Friday’s 3-0 away win over Denmark in the European Championship play-offs. He had been expected to play in the return match in Almere, but AZ said he was not recovering sufficiently and needed to rest.
Smit has made six league appearances for AZ this season, having also been affected by injuries.
