Memphis Depay, the record-scorer for the Netherlands, was unable to begin his international duties after reporting his stolen passport to the Corinthians.
Depay was unable to travel to the Netherlands on Sunday evening because of illness.
Ronald Koeman’s team travel to Malta on Thursday for World Cup qualifying matches, and then travel to Finland on Sunday.
Depay is “doing everything he can,” according to the Dutch federation, the KNVB.
This is unfortunate, according to National Team head coach Ronald Koeman, who also has criticized Memphis. You should have a full squad ready to begin your international preparations.
There are also circumstances that are beyond our control, he said. We’re hoping he’ll be able to travel as soon as possible to join us at the training camp.
With 52 goals in 104 appearances, Depay became the Netherlands’ all-time top scorer with a double against Lithuania last month, surpassing Robin van Persie.
