“Sunday proved that you can’t count on anything. Let’s hope everyone else stays fit and healthy. And then in May we’ll see how it looks for us,” he added.

-- Dutch national team coach Ronald Koeman after forwards Memphis Depay and Donyell Malen both went down to serious knee injuries on Sunday. “It was no festive Sunday,” Koeman told Dutch broadcaster NOS after he watched Depay tear the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee playing for Lyon in Ligue 1, an injury that could sideline him for six months, meaning he is likely to miss Euro 2020. Malen, 20, would have been a possible replacement for Depay, but he is set to be out of action for four months after suffering a knee injury playing for PSV against Feyenoord. (Reuters)
