AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Jurrien Timber has returned to the Netherlands squad after recovering from a long-term injury and was named in a 23-man selection for next week’s Nations League games by coach Ronald Koeman on Friday.

The Arsenal defender suffered a serious knee injury at the start of last season and returned to action in April but was not included in the squad for the European Championship in mid-year.
