The Dutch Football Association KNVB stated that goalkeeper Jasper Sillerson and Tottenham Hotspur forward Steven Bergwijn are among the three substitute players for the Dutch team’s decisive World Cup qualifier next week.
The 32-year-old Sillesen was the Dutch team’s first-choice goalkeeper before the European Cup, but he tested positive for the new coronavirus and was excluded from the game in the middle of the year.

The Valencia goalkeeper has not been called up by the new coach Luis Van Gaal, but was summoned to join the team on Tuesday after the replacement goalkeeper Jord Romer retired due to illness.
The 24-year-old Bergwijn replaces the injured Steven Berghuis, while the 18-year-old Devyne Rensch replaces the injured Ajax Amsterdam teammate Jurrien Timber.
The Netherlands will face Montenegro in the penultimate Group G qualifier in Podgorica on Saturday, and then may face Norway next Tuesday in Rotterdam to compete for the top spot and automatic qualification for next year’s World Cup in Qatar.
The Dutch team led the Norwegian team by two points.
