Malen returns to group training ahead of Brighton trip

Donyell Malen has withdrawn from the Netherlands squad for upcoming Nations League matches due to an injury, the Dutch federation confirmed. The Roma forward will remain at the club's Trigoria training ground during the international break. Malen's absence follows similar withdrawals from Wesley and Bryan Cristante, who have also been ruled out for their respective national teams. Xavi Hernandez has called up Mexx Meerdink as Malen's replacement in the Dutch squad. The injury setback comes after Malen featured in Roma's recent 2–2 draw against Inter. The club's medical staff will assess him over the coming days, though the federation provided no further details on the nature or extent of the problem. For coach Gian Piero Gasperini, this marks the third injury-related withdrawal on the eve of the international window. Wesley was excluded from Brazil's squad and replaced by Vanderson, while Cristante will miss Italy's camp at Coverciano, with Samuele Ricci taking his place in the Italian squad. Former Roma player Justin Kluivert also withdrew from the Netherlands squad due to injury, with Guus Til called in as his replacement.

Donyell Malen will miss the Netherlands' upcoming Nations League fixtures due to a physical problem, joining Wesley and Bryan Cristante on the injury absentee list during the international break. The Roma forward had been included in Xavi's squad for the Oranje but is forced to withdraw and will remain in Italy rather than join the national team camp. Malen has been a standout performer in Roma's opening to the 2026-27 season under Gian Piero Gasperini. His condition will be monitored over the coming days, though no further details have emerged about the nature of the injury or the expected recovery timeline. The club will be able to track his progress directly during the international window. The withdrawal adds to Roma's injury concerns ahead of the resumption of club football. Wesley declined his Brazil call-up and Bryan Cristante pulled out of Italy's squad, both citing physical issues.

Donyell Malen will remain at Trigoria during the international break after withdrawing from the Netherlands squad due to injury. The Dutch federation announced that Malen, along with Justin Kluivert, had "withdrawn from the call-up for the next international window because of injuries". Malen follows Wesley and Bryan Cristante, both of whom were initially called up before returning to Roma's facilities. Til and Meerdink have been called up as replacements and will join the Dutch camp at Zeist tomorrow afternoon. Malen will use the break to recover at Trigoria rather than play in the Netherlands' fixtures against Germany, Serbia and Greece. The forward is now unavailable for those three matches as Roma manage his fitness during the international window.
