The Oranje coach had left the Manchester United winger out of his provisional squad, suggesting he does not contribute enough, but has called him back into the team days later
Memphis Depay has been called up to the latest Netherlands side, despite coach Danny Blind initially leaving him out.

The Oranje boss had left the Manchester United forward out of his provisional squad for the upcoming friendlies against Wales and Germany because of injury, but added that he did not contribute enough to the team.

However, Blind has now included the 21-year-old in his final selection, while Arjen Robben returns to the team after recovering from his injury.

Blind has stood by his decision to leave Robin van Persie out of the squad, bemoaning the striker's poor performances at Fenerbahce.

Meanwhile, Feyenoord midfielder Marko Vejinovic gets his first call up and Jordy Clasie returns to the side after making his first appearances for Southampton.

The Dutch side take on Wales on 13 November and Germany four days later in their first games since they failed to qualify for Euro 2016.


Full Netherlands squad:

Goalkeepers: Jasper Cillessen (Ajax), Maarten Stekelenburg (Southampton), Kenneth Vermeer (Feyenoord).

Defenders: Jeffrey Bruma (PSV), Virgil van Dijk (Southampton), Daryl Janmaat (Newcastle United), Terence Kongolo (Feyenoord), Jairo Riedewald (Ajax), Kenny Tete (Ajax), Joel Veltman (Ajax).

Midfielders: Riechedley Bazoer (Ajax) Daley Blind (Manchester United), Jordy Clasie (Southampton), Davy Klaassen (Ajax), Wesley Sneijder (Galatasaray), Marko Vejinovic (Feyenoord), Georginio Wijnaldum (Newcastle United).
