News about Joey Veerman

Veerman (left) and Co were playing their final group game of the tournament knowing their qualification for the last 16 was confirmed, but having to work out where they would finish in Group C. It didn't end they way they wanted it to, finishing third overall, but they have already confirmed their spot in the first knockout stage as at least a best-placed third-place team. That was how it ended for the Dutch, after they lost 3-2 to group winners Austria in their final match, teeing them up for a likely game against England.

According to a source, the five Dutch players who missed Holland's 4-0 loss against France on Friday were disqualified due to a dodgy chicken curry. Cody Gakpo, Sven Botman, Matthias De Ligt, Joey Veerman, and Bart Verbruggen all left Ronald Koeman's training camp with flu-like stomach ailments ahead of their Euro 2024 qualifier against World Cup finalists France. Les Bleus defeated Holland thanks to goals from Antoine Griezmann, Dayot Upamecano, and recently installed skipper Kylian Mbappe, who was praised by French media after the victory.

With a 2-0 victory in the Europa League, Mikel Arteta's nine matches unbeaten in all competitions came to a halt in Eindhoven on Thursday, when PSV put Arsenal's top spot prospects under scrutiny. Despite Joey Veerman and Luke de Jong's winning, it was PSV's star pair Cody Gakpo and Xavi Simons who lit up the Philips Stadium with dazzling dribbling, penetrative running, and a shrewish team bond-up play against the uncharacteristically poor Gunners. The two Dutch players delivered a masterclass in how to rip apart a defense relentlessly, particularly one who conceded only 11 goals in 15 appearances going into the Europa League match.

Supporters have blasted Arsenal after their poor showing in a 2-0 loss at PSV Eindhoven that saw their nine-match unbeaten streak come to an end. Mikel Arteta's team went into the match having won eight of their last nine games. They were no match for Ruud van Nistelrooy's side, who strolled to victory thanks to second half goals from Joey Veerman and former Newcastle striker Luuk de Jong, but they were not exactly match.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be dissatisfied to haven't profited from Eindhoven's return leg in Holland next week. The Dutchman's vulnerability at corners is something to consider ahead of a return leg that is delicately poised. Brian Majoribanks of Sportsmail talks to me about his match ratings from a tumultuous night in Glasgow.

MARK WILSON, IBROX: The fireworks were still roaring in Glasgow two years after the 2am tragedy outside PSV Eindhoven's hotel. Rangers were left feeling somewhat sick by a game full of thrilling drama and rapid shifts in momentum. There is still hope. Yes, for sure. But the trip to the Netherlands next week will be anything but spectacular.

PSV Eindhoven has been given a free weekend to brace for Rangers' big-money Champions League shoot-out. The Ruud van Nistelrooy team will be in Glasgow on Tuesday night for the first leg of the qualifying play-off. With a £40 million deficit and the club's coefficient on the line, Dutch football officials have promised to give PSV a free weekend until the second leg of the season on Wednesday, August 24, by postponing their league match against FC Volendam, which was supposed to take place on Saturday, August 20.
