AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Netherlands goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg is set to play his second game of the European Championship on Thursday, at home against Austria in Amsterdam, as he continues a fairytale comeback at the highest level.

Stekelenburg, who won his first cap in 2004, was the goalkeeper when the Dutch reached the 2010 World Cup final but had not been called up by his country since November 2016 before returning to the squad in March.
