ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) - There was no welcome mat out for Dutch-born defender Dean Huijsen when he made his debut for Spain against the country of his birth in the Nations League on Thursday.
The teenager, who plays for English Premier League club Bournemouth, was born in Amsterdam and represented Dutch junior national teams, and he was constantly jeered after coming on as a 41st-minute substitute for his first Spain cap.
