Ronald Koeman was able to use all 26 selection players during the Oranje recovery training on Sunday, according to reports including the NOS and The TelegraphIan Maatsen, who was unable to play against Turkey due to illness, had also recovered.

After winning the match against Turkey (2-1) in Berlin, the Dutch national team returned by train to the base camp in Wolfsburg on Sunday morning to prepare for the semi-final against England next Wednesday.

Maatsen dropped out a day before the quarter finals because he allegedly ate something wrong, but the left wing defender is now back in the game. He did not travel to Berlin.

The Borussia Dortmund left back is the only selection player who has not yet made his debut for Oranje. Joshua Zirkzee had not played any minutes until Saturday evening, but he was allowed to replace Memphis Depay in the 87th minute.

The starting eleven from the duel with the Turks sat on the side of the field on bicycles, while the substitutes and reserves trained with a ball. Among other things, a position game was played, and the staff members also mixed in a game of foot volley.

Partners, (grand)children and family members of the players and staff members were present in the AOK Stadium of VfL Wolfsburg. After the match, the children were allowed back on the field, just like on the day after the match against Poland.

Next Wednesday, England will be the next opponent of the Dutch team in Dortmund at 21:00. The other semi-final will be played a day earlier between Spain and France.
