Wijnaldum, Van de Beek & Bergwijn among Netherlands international call-ups amid coronavirus concerns

Georginio Wijnaldum, Donny van de Beek and Steven Bergwijn have been handed Netherlands international call-ups despite the ongoing concerns regarding current coronavirus protocols.

The upcoming international break is stirring up plenty of controversy due to the detrimental impact it could have on club football, with it possible that any players travelling abroad will have to quarantine for 10 days upon returning to their teams in Europe's five major leagues.

Frank de Boer's preparations for the Netherlands' latest World Cup qualifying campaign don't appear to have been affected, though, with the head coach naming Liverpool's Wijnaldum, Manchester United midfielder Van de Beek and Tottenham attacker Bergwijn in his preliminary squad on Monday.
