“Gakpo sustained an injury in the game against Montenegro on Sunday,” the KNVB reports. “Nathan Aké, in consultation with national coach Louis van Gaal, has decided to leave the training camp due to private circumstances.”
In the games against Norway (1-1) and Montenegro (4-0), Gakpo always started in the starting line-up and he scored at home against the Montenegrins. Aké did not score minutes in either game.
Van Gaal does not call for replacements, which means that the selection of the Dutch national team now consists of 23 players.
