(Reuters) - Southampton goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg has been added to the Netherlands squad for their final Euro 2016 qualifier against Czech Republic on Tuesday after Tim Krul sustained a knee injury in Saturday's 2-1 win over Kazakhstan.

With Netherlands' first choice keeper Jasper Cillessen also picking up an injury during the warm-up before the match against Kazakhstan, Stekelenburg will be hoping to be involved in the Netherlands squad for the first time since October 2012.
