Netherlands to miss Van Dijk, Babel in Euro 2020 qualifier against Estonia

THE HAGUE - Ryan Babel and Virgil van Dijk left the Dutch training camp for the Euro 2020 qualifier against Estonia on Tuesday in Amsterdam, the Dutch soccer association KNVB announced on Monday.

Captain Van Dijk went home "for personal reasons", while striker Babel is injured. The Netherlands will also miss suspended Marten de Roon, who picked up a yellow card in Saturday's match against Northern Ireland.

With a 0-0 draw in Belfast on Saturday, the Netherlands already secured a place at Euro 2020 next year, after missing Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup.
