(Reuters) - Denzel Dumfries has pulled out of the Netherlands squad for the Nations League quarter-final tie against Spain and there are doubts over the fitness of Frenkie de Jong, the Dutch football association said on Monday.

Dumfries was injured playing for Inter Milan in Sunday’s Serie A triumph at Atalanta and has been replaced by 22-year-old Ajax Amsterdam defender Youri Baas who received a first national team call-up on his birthday.
