Netherlands goalkeeper Femke Liefting has withdrawn from the squad for Friday’s Women’s World Cup qualifier against Hungary after falling ill. Regina van Eijk has replaced her, according to an ANP report carried by Nieuws.nl. [1]
Coach Arjan Veurink said it was not yet clear whether Liefting would recover in time for Tuesday’s home match against Hungary in Tilburg. With Daphne van Domselaar absent, Lize Kop is the first-choice goalkeeper and Daniëlle de Jong the first alternative. [1]
Veurink said the rest of the available squad was fit and able to play both matches in full. Renee van Asten, Jackie Groenen, Vivianne Miedema and Romée Leuchter are also missing this international period. Friday’s match at the Pancho Aréna is scheduled to kick off at 20:00. [1]
