Netherlands vs England Euro 2024, Semi-final: As the 2024 Euro Championship nears its climax, a thrilling semi-final showdown awaits between the Netherlands and England on July 11th at the iconic BVB Arena in Dortmund. With a coveted place in the final at stake, both teams are gearing up for an intense battle.

Despite reaching the semi-finals, Ronald Koeman's Netherlands have had a mixed tournament. In the group stage, the Dutch secured victories against Poland and drew with France but suffered a setback with a loss to Austria in their final group match.

In the knockout rounds, the Oranjes comfortably dispatched Romania but faced a tougher challenge against Turkiye, where they had to come from behind to win 2-1, thanks to a late own goal.

England's campaign also has been marred by criticism and inconsistency. Despite boasting a strong squad, Gareth Southgate's team has struggled to find a clear playing style. The Three Lions narrowly topped their group and relied on luck and resilience in the knockout stages.

England edged past Slovakia with an extra-time victory and overcame Switzerland in a tense penalty shootout.

For both teams, the semi-final is a golden opportunity to prove their mettle. The Netherlands aim to reaffirm their status among international football's elite, while England seeks to silence their doubters and advance to the final.

Netherlands vs England Team News, Injury Update

Koeman has largely stuck with the same starting lineup throughout the knockout stages but may make a few changes for this crucial match.

Steven Bergwijn's underwhelming performance on the right wing puts his place in danger. Jeremie Frimpong, who usually plays right-back for Bayer Leverkusen, and Donyell Malen, who scored twice in the last-16, are potential replacements. Other than that, the team that defeated Turkiye and Romania is likely to remain unchanged.

England, however, might see significant alterations from their quarter-final lineup. Southgate opted for a back three in the last game, with Bukayo Saka and Kieran Trippier as wing-backs. While Saka is expected to retain his spot, Trippier could be replaced by Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw, who recently returned to action after a three-month absence.

Additionally, Marc Guehi is available after serving a one-game ban and is likely to start, despite Ezri Konsa's excellent performance in his absence.
