Sari van Veenendaal: Netherlands keeper will miss rest of Women’s Euros through injury | Soccer News

Dutch captain and goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal has been ruled out for the rest of Euro 2022 with a shoulder injury.

The PSV Eindhoven No 1 suffered the injury in their opening game, a 1-1 draw with Sweden on Saturday, and was replaced by FC Twente’s Daphne van Domselaar.

With Van Veenendaal on the treatment table for the remainder of the tournament, Feyenoord goalkeeper Jacintha Weimar will join the squad as cover.

The 32-year-old’s absence is likely to be costly for the reigning European champions, with the Dutch captain boasting plenty of experience – having won Euro 2017 and reached the 2019 World Cup final with his country .

The injury represents another blow to Mark Parsons’ Dutch side, who lost Manchester United midfielder Jackie Groenen after testing positive for coronavirus.

The Netherlands take on Portugal on Wednesday night in their second Euro 2020 group game at Manchester’s Leigh Sports Village.

Parsons’ side will then travel to Bramall Lane at Sheffield United to take on Switzerland, who are currently having their own fitness issues.

The Swiss team had to cancel training after a serious outbreak in the camp on Monday. Eight players and eleven backstage staff suffer from “gastrointestinal symptoms”.

Switzerland’s next match is also on Wednesday, against Sweden – the world’s second-ranked team – in Sheffield on Wednesday.
