Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk has announced his squad for the international friendly against Ukraine on August 11. Van Marwijk has decided to rest almost his entire World Cup squad for the Donetsk fixture.
Utrecht goalie Michel Vorm is the only player who was also present at the 2010 World Cup. However, the shot stopper didn't play a single minute during Oranje's successful World Cup campaign in South Africa.
Jeffrey Bruma, Erik Pieters, Ronnie Stam, Siem de Jong, Roy Beerens, Jeremain Lens and Ricky van Wolfswinkel are all set to make their first international appearance at senior level for Holland.
"The match against Ukraine comes at a bad time for the majority of our star players following our lengthy World Cup campaign. They only just started training with their clubs again or are still on holiday. Therefore, it's best to give them some extra rest," Van Marwijk was quoted as saying on a press conference.
"This is a great chance for me to get a closer look at some talented youngsters ahead of the qualifying campaign for Euro 2012. Ukraine know that we won't play in our strongest formation and they understand ourt situation."
Full squad:
Goalkeepers: Michel Vorm (FC Utrecht), Piet Velthuizen (Vitesse)
Defenders: Vurnon Anita (Ajax), Glenn Loovens (Celtic), Jeffrey Bruma (Chelsea), Erik Pieters (PSV), Ronnie Stam (FC Twente), Ron Vlaar (Feyenoord)
Midfielders: Otman Bakkal (PSV), Wout Brama (FC Twente), Urby Emanuelson (Ajax), David Mendes da Silva (Red Bull Salzburg), Orlando Engelaar (PSV), Theo Janssen (FC Twente), Siem de Jong (Ajax)
Attackers: Roy Beerens (SC Heerenveen), Jeremain Lens (PSV), Ricky van Wolfswinkel (FC Utrecht)
