Xavi, the head coach of the Netherlands national team, has decided to exclude Jeremie Frimpong from the squad for the match against Serbia, in a purely technical decision by the coach, according to ESPN.
Jeremie Frimpong's exclusion comes despite his physical readiness and the absence of any injury, confirming that his absence from the match was a decision made by the coaching staff and not due to a physical issue.
Jeremie Frimpong was left on the bench during the recent match against Germany, which ended in a draw, before Xavi decided this time not to include him in the squad for the game against Serbia.
Jeremie Frimpong has been a prominent name in the Netherlands national team in recent years, but competition for the full-back position is intensifying, making Xavi's decision a sign of other tactical options in his considerations.
Frimpong is now awaiting his chance to return to the coach's plans for upcoming competitions, especially with the importance of maintaining his place in the Netherlands national team.
