(Reuters) - Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has been dropped from the Netherlands squad for three friendly internationals next month, while Manchester United teenager Timothy Fosu-Mensah has received a first call-up, the Dutch football association (KNVB) said on Friday.

Schalke striker Huntelaar had been benched for March’s friendlies against France and England and was being left out to give others an opportunity to play, said coach Danny Blind, who named a 31-man preliminary squad.
