Holanda announced the 26 called up by Ronald Koeman for the Copa Mundo dispute, which takes place between June 11th and July 13th in Estados Unidos, México and Canadá. The announcement was made on Wednesday morning (27).
Memphis Depay, Corinthians’s number 10, is the highlight of the list. The striker recently recovered from an injury to his right thigh and will compete in his third Copa of Mundo. Depay is the top scorer in the history of the Dutch national team and continues to be a key player in the attack.
Recuperação of Memphis marks call-up
Memphis Depay returned to Corinthians’s training after a period of intensive treatment. Confirming his presence in the squad represents a victory for both the São Paulo club and the Dutch team, who trust in the experienced striker for the competition in the América of the Norte.
Coach Ronald Koeman maintained the tactical structure based on established players at Europa. The list reflects the intention of maintaining offensive consistency with the participation of Depay as the main reference.
Desfalques important in the summons
Ronald Koeman was unable to count on 2 important players for the squad. Xavi Simons, from Tottenham, suffered a serious knee injury. Jerdy Schouten, from PSV, was also not released due to knee problems that compromised his recovery for the tournament.
The absence of these midfielders forces adjustments in the team’s composition. Koeman chose to reinforce other positions with players with consolidated European experience.
Grupo F and upcoming challenges
Holanda is in Grupo F of Copa of Mundo, alongside Japão, Suécia and Tunísia. Laranja Mecânica’s first game is on June 14th, against the Japanese. The calendar presents an accelerated sequence that demands quick integration.
The Dutch will face significant challenges early on, but they have an experienced squad to navigate the early stages.

- Defensores:Dumfries, Wieffer, Van Dijk, Van Hecke, Jurriën Timber, Aké, Van, Ven, Hato

Perspectiva from Corinthians
Corinthians remains attentive to the sequence of Memphis Depay in Copa. The player’s contract renewal with the São Paulo club goes hand in hand with his international commitments. The pre-World Cup agreement would represent a significant gain for both the bond and the global visibility of Corinthians in the international market.
The call confirms that Depay maintains the competitive standard necessary to compete in the high-level tournament. The successful return from injury opens up positive prospects for the player’s performance both in Copa and following the Corinthians season.
