Kieft backs Malen over Brobbey if Depay Unfit

Wim Kieft says Donyell Malen should be preferred to Brian Brobbey as a striker for the Netherlands if Memphis Depay is not fully fit. Kieft links the selection decision directly to Depay’s fitness level.

Kieft argues that Malen offers a more reliable option than Brobbey under those circumstances. He explicitly states that the preference should shift to Malen when Depay cannot play.

Brian Brobbey is still being eased into match action. He logged 45 minutes for Corinthians on Tuesday evening.

Rob Jansen says he can speak about Brobbey’s role. Jansen would start Brobbey in the World Cup lineup.

If Depay remains unfit, Kieft’s view suggests Malen could earn the starting spot. Jansen’s contrary stance indicates a potential debate over the striker position.
