Dutch name squad for Nations League finals
Reijnders impressed in AZ’s run to the Europa Conference League semi-finals, where he scored away against West Ham United, while Noppert, who made his international debut at last year's World Cup finals, has recovered from injury.
There was no place for keeper Jasper Cillessen, who was also overlooked for the last European Championship and World Cup.
Koeman also dropped four Ajax Amsterdam players after their poor finish to the season with Steven Berghuis, Brian Brobbey, Davy Klaassen and Kenneth Taylor missing out on the four-nattion tournament.
Teun Koopmeiners returns after injury and there was a recall for Belgian-based Noa Lang and PSV Eindhoven’s Joey Veerman.
"As we are at the end of the season, it is difficult to call up players at the last minute. That's why we chose to invite 26 players. That gives us the opportunity to deal with any personnel problems,” Koeman said in a statement released by the Dutch football association.
The Dutch are hosting the tournament and meet Croatia in the semi-finals in Rotterdam on June 14. Italy and Spain play in the other semi-final in Enschede one day later. The final and third place playoff matches are on June 18.
