(Reuters) - Netherlands coach Frank de Boer says consideration for his players' welfare is the priority as he ponders his team selection for Wednesday's Nations League clash away to Italy, even though he is under fire to get a result.

It is De Boer's third game since he took over from Ronald Koeman and the Dutch have yet to score under him, placing immediate pressure on the new coach.
