Netherlands coach Xavi Hernández said the Dutch side's fourth Nations League match in eleven days, against Serbia in Eindhoven on Sunday, shows the fixture list is flawed, warning that a crowded calendar so soon after the World Cup is "asking for trouble" and has left several players with injury concerns at their clubs. He refused to rest players as PSV's coach had requested and said he would prefer two internationals in this window, though he expects UEFA to keep the four-match block in 2027 (UEFA is European football's governing body). The match will also be captain Virgil van Dijk's 100th cap for the Netherlands, which Xavi called "very special" without confirming that Van Dijk will start.
