"The Manchester United midfielder is struggling with an injury."

Netherlands head coach Frank de Boer has not replaced the former Ajax midfielder in his squad.

It caps a difficult year for Van de Beek after he made just four league starts for United in his first season in English football, often coming on late as a substitute.

The 24-year-old has won 19 caps and last played for his country in the 7-0 win against Gibraltar in March.
