Unwelcome news for Netherlands fans.

Details: Today, the official Netherlands national team account on social network X announced that 25-year-old central midfielder Quinten Timber will be forced to miss the second round World Cup match against Sweden.

It is reported that Timber sustained a mild concussion during today's training session after a collision with a teammate. To avoid risking the player's health, the coaching staff has decided to give him a rest.
