Koeman Excludes Justin Bijlow Over Cost Concerns
Ronald Koeman announced that goalkeeper Justin Bijlow missed the Netherlands World Cup squad.
Koeman added that Bijlow must stay fit for any possible emergency.
The comment referred to the “last line of Genoa,” indicating the club’s goalkeeper must keep his fitness level high.
Staying fit was highlighted as necessary for handling potential calamities.
Koeman justified the exclusion by mentioning “too high costs” as the reason.
The cost argument was presented as decisive for the final squad composition.
The Dutch selection process thus proceeds without Bijlow.
Genoa’s goalkeeper remains on standby, ready to be called if needed.
