Netherlands head coach Xavi has indicated he will make changes to his starting lineup for the team's final Nations League match against Serbia, according to De Telegraaf. Speaking at a press conference alongside Denzel Dumfries, Xavi said he intends to freshen up his side for the fixture, the Eindhovens Dagblad reported. RTL.nl also reported that the coach will implement a number of adjustments to his selection.
The Netherlands squad is preparing for the Serbia game with a full complement of players, De Telegraaf reported. The match is the last of the current international window, a period that has drawn criticism from both Xavi and Dumfries. According to AD.nl, the coach and the defender feel that a long international break featuring four matches is too much.
That workload appears to be a factor behind the expected rotation, though the specific names coming into the side have not been confirmed. The reports point only to changes being made, without detailing which players will step in or drop out.
The Netherlands' meeting with Serbia closes out the Nations League campaign for Xavi's team. What to watch next: the confirmed starting lineup, which will show exactly how many changes Xavi makes for the final match of the window.
