Van de Donk Rejoins Netherlands Squad, Commits to 2027 World Cup

The 34-year-old midfielder returns from a seven-month knee layoff to bolster preparations for March World Cup qualifiers.

Overview

Danielle van de Donk trained in Zeist with Oranje for the first time since last year's European Championship after a prolonged knee injury.
She acknowledged months of pain fueled doubts about continuing internationally but said her motivation never disappeared.
Head coach Arjan Veurink conditioned her recall on a pledge to continue through the 2027 World Cup in Brazil, a commitment she has made.
She arrives in camp after debuting for London City Lionesses in January and scoring for the club earlier this week.
The Netherlands play World Cup qualifiers away to Poland on 3 March and at home against Ireland on 7 March.
