GOOD AFTERNOON FROM TWENTE
Welcome to our live coverage of the international friendly match between the Netherlands and Georgia at the De Grolsch Veste Stadium ahead of the summer’s delayed Euro 2020 competition.
Holland are set for their last warm-up game ahead of the European championships where they are set to take on Austria, North Macedonia and Ukraine in the group stage.
Oranje manager Frank de Boer will be without star defender Matthijs de Ligt, who suffered a groin injury during training and is set for further tests to determine his fitness ahead of the Euros.
Other than that, De Boer has a squad at full strength but is expected to make a number of changes to the line-up he fielded on Wednesday’s 2-2 draw against Scotland at the Algarve.
Lyon star Memphis Depay scored twice for the Netherlands but is expected to be rested tonight, whereas Manchester United ace Donny van de Beek should start in midfield.
Ryan Gravenberch, Patrick van Aanholt, Quincy Promes and Joel Veltman could all join Van de Beek in the starting line-up and the same goes for Barcelona ace Frenkie de Jong.
Georgia manager Willy Sagnol, on the other hand, will be without Lokomotiv Moscow player Saba Kverkvelia as he will serve a suspension following his red card on Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Romania.
Sagnol is also expected to make some changes by starting the likes of Saba Lobzhanidze, Guram Kashia and Budu Zivzivadze
