Spanish media fear for Dumfries: the Oranje must save him

Denzel Dumfries does for the Netherlands national team what he forgets at Real Madrid, namely delivering.

Also on Friday evening Dumfries impressed again for the Dutch.

AS reports that his role at Real is nowadays less prominent.

The Spanish newspaper writes that the Dutch must offer a rescue.

The outlet hopes that Dumfries can recover during the international break.

He was at the start of the season a regular under José Mourinho, but now has to be more often satisfied with a place on the bench.

Through the playing minutes he does get for the Netherlands, he can hopefully regain his schwung in the legs, AS says.

After the previous international break his performances declined; he started only two of the eight matches in the lineup.

The positional change of Federico Valverde has major consequences for Dumfries' playing time, the Spanish media reports.

His defensive vulnerability is highlighted as a recurring problem in his career.

The upcoming international match offers Dumfries an ideal opportunity to regain his form.

Strong Dutch performances could, according to AS, bring about a new turnaround in his season at Real Madrid.
