Danny Koevermans has retained his place in the Netherlands squad as a nineteen-man squad will travel to Minsk for the final Euro 2008 qualifying game against Belarus on Wednesday. The PSV striker scored the winning goal against Luxemburg at the Rotterdam Kuip on Saturday, ensuring the Netherlands booked their place at Euro 2008.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, who sustained an injury because of which he was substituted at half time, will not make the trip to Minsk. Edwin van der Sar and Clarence Seedorf will also miss Holland's final Euro 2008 qualifier. Netherlands coach Van Basten has called up four players to fill the gap: Klaas Jan Huntelaar, Nigel de Jong, Hedwiges Maduro and Feyenoord goalkeeper Henk Timmer.
