The Netherlands national football team trained with a fully fit World Cup squad on Tuesday ahead of the friendly match against Algeria. Only Jurriën Timber was still absent from the training field. The Arsenal defender made his comeback from a groin injury in the Champions League final last Saturday and will only join Ronald Koeman's squad on Thursday, after the match against Algeria. In addition to Timber, Denzel Dumfries will also be absent from the farewell match for the World Cup: he is suspended after his red card in the friendly match against Ecuador. Ian Maatsen and Lutsharel Geertruida are part of the group that will face Algeria. They are reserves for the World Cup and can be called up until a day before the first World Cup match - on June 14 - if someone is seriously injured or ill. In Algeria, Oranje will face two well-known Eredivisie players: Anis Hadj Moussa from Feyenoord and Ramiz Zerrouki from FC Twente. After the match, the Netherlands national team will travel to New York for a training camp and a friendly match against Uzbekistan. The World Cup starts for Oranje on June 14 with a match against Japan in Dallas. Earlier today, the squad numbers for the World Cup were announced. Notably, Marten de Roon will wear the number 3 on his shirt during his comeback in the national team. Defender Jan-Paul van Hecke will wear the number 6, which is normally worn by a midfielder. Ronald Koeman's squad looks good for the World Cup. With a fully fit squad and good preparation, Oranje can expect a good result in the World Cup. The Netherlands national team has everything to make a good impression in the World Cup.
