AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Nathan Ake and Sergio Padt have been named in the Netherlands squad for the first time as new coach Dick Advocaat selected an expansive 28-man selection for three internationals in 10 days, starting next Wednesday in Morocco.

Goalkeeper Padt from Groningen is among an initial group of 12 players who head on Saturday to a brief training camp in Portugal. They will be joined there by the other 16 in the course of next week, including defender Ake after the FA Cup final where his Chelsea team take on Arsenal at Wembley on Saturday.
