The Netherlands will head into the 2026 World Cup without a key piece in the right flank as Jeremie Frimpong won't be with his team in Northamerica. The Netherlands will be hunting for their first-ever World Cup title in 2026, looking to snap a historical curse after finishing as runners-up three times without ever lifting the trophy. The Oranje will try to break that slump in North America, but they will have to do it without right-back Jeremie Frimpong. Frimpong is missing the 2026 World Cup for the Netherlands due to a personnel decision by manager Ronald Koeman, who chose to name other players to the roster ahead of the Liverpool defender. “I didn’t take Frimpong because of what I saw in the season. Several physical problems,” the Dutch manager explained during a press conference. For the right flank, Koeman initially called up Denzel Dumfries and Jurrien Timber, though the Arsenal defender was ultimately ruled out due to injury and replaced by Lutsharel Geertruida. Koeman made up his mind during a friendly against Ecuador back in March, following an injury to Frimpong that left him on the pitch for just 11 minutes. “Let’s remember the match against Ecuador [friendly in March], when he came on at halftime and soon left, injured,” Koeman said.

(Getty Images) In addition to Dumfries and Timber, the manager decided to select Crysencio Summerville over Frimpong for the right flank. “But I also chose someone else as right winger. Summerville… He can also play very well on the right side, but he is particularly good in his work ethic,” he added. An inconsistent season for Frimpong at Liverpool Koeman’s decision was rooted in an inconsistent season for Frimpong, where recurring injury troubles limited his playing time and ultimately cost him his spot in the starting lineup at Anfield. A lingering hamstring injury plagued him all year, sidelining him for 20 matches and limiting him to just 1,794 minutes of game time across 35 appearances, where he contributed two goals and two assists. Ultimately, that mixture of several injuries and an irregular club campaign cost him a seat on the plane to North America.
The Netherlands will face a tough defensive absence as Arsenal's Jurrien Timber has been officially ruled out of their 2026 World Cup campaign. The Netherlands enters the 2026 World Cup as one of the favorites to capture the title and finally secure the first-ever global star in the nation’s storied soccer history. However, as the Dutch prepare for their tournament run in North America, Oranje has been dealt a major setback. Versatile defender Jurrien Timber was officially omitted from the final 26-man roster. The 24-year-old Arsenal defender suffered a persistent groin injury during the final stretch of the club season. Despite aggressive rehabilitation efforts, he failed to return to 100% physical fitness in time to meet manager Ronald Koeman’s strict medical standards for the tournament. Interestingly, Timber did manage to make a high-profile appearance in Arsenal’s final match of the season, coming off the bench to play 55 minutes in a penalty shootout loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final. While that brief return sparked optimism within the Dutch camp, the progress was short-lived. Once Timber arrived at the Netherlands‘ pre-tournament training camp in New York, the medical staff evaluated his condition after a friendly against Uzbekistan and determined that it was in the player’s best long-term interest to focus on a complete recovery. To fill the vacant spot on the roster, Koeman utilized FIFA’s late injury-replacement window to call up Sunderland right-back Lutsharel Geertruida.

In consultation with the medical staff, it has therefore been decided that Timber will leave the… pic.twitter.com/r6Wu8FRCfP— OnsOranje (@OnsOranje) June 8, 2026 Koeman about Timber’s injury Mikel Arteta’s tactical gamble to feature Timber in the Champions League final generated significant debate and controversy back in the Netherlands. Prior to that match, the defender had spent roughly two months completely sidelined trying to heal the groin issue. Addressing the situation during a press conference, Koeman expressed frustration but stopped short of pointing fingers at the Premier League club, though he frankly admitted the Champions League minutes exacerbated the issue. “You can’t blame the club, and I don’t want to do that either,” the Dutch manager stated. “However, it is clear that those minutes did not help his recover“. Koeman further explained that while Timber might have been physically capable of logging occasional, sparse minutes later in the tournament, relying on an unfit player for a grueling World Cup campaign was out of the question for the coaching staff. “He has been out of shape for a long time and continues to present symptoms that do not subside quickly, which means he will not be ready to compete in the short term,” Koeman concluded. With Timber officially heading home to rest ahead of the domestic season, the Netherlands will now lean on their extensive defensive depth to anchor the backline for their upcoming Group F matches against Japan, Sweden, and Tunisia.
The Netherlands will compete in the 2026 FIFA World Cup without Xavi Simons. The Netherlands face a challenging road at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, beginning on Sunday against Japan in the Group F opener at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. However, Xavi Simons will not be there after being ruled out of the tournament with a serious injury. Simons suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee on April 25 during a Tottenham Hotspur match against Wolverhampton in the Premier League. The injury required surgery and was followed by a lengthy recovery process expected to last between six and nine months. In addition to missing the World Cup with the Netherlands, the 23-year-old winger is expected to spend most of 2026 on the sidelines. He is unlikely to return to action during the second half of the calendar year, meaning a full comeback is expected in the latter stages of the 2026-27 season. For the Netherlands, losing Simons was a major blow considering his club performances and the role head coach Ronald Koeman had given him within the national team setup. Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman. Since making his international debut in December 2022 during the World Cup quarterfinal against the USMNT, Simons has recorded 34 appearances and six goals for the national team. Under Koeman, his role has been significant, featuring in 33 of the 38 matches the head coach has overseen since taking charge in 2023, most of them as a starter. Other Netherlands absences for the World Cup The loss of Xavi Simons was a significant setback for the Netherlands in their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but he was not the only player ruled out. Two other key members of the squad were also sidelined because of injuries suffered during the club season. The first was Matthijs de Ligt, who, after months of dealing with back problems, had no choice but to undergo surgery in mid-May. That brought an end to both his season with Manchester United and his World Cup hopes. The other case was much more recent. Jurrien Timber had been included in Ronald Koeman’s 26-man squad for the tournament and even traveled to North America with his teammates. However, during the first few days of training, it became clear he was not fit to play because of a groin injury suffered while with Arsenal. As a result, he was withdrawn from the roster and replaced by Lutsharel Geertruida.
