#Euro2016:-:Netherlands missing 15 players - Blind

Netherlands coach Danny Blind was unable to hide his
frustration with his side's injury problems after their
2-1 win over Kazakhstan.

Netherlands coach Danny Blind has voiced his frustration with
his side's ongoing physical problems in the wake of their 2-1
Euro 2016 qualification win over Kazakhstan on Saturday.

The Dutch were without the likes of Arjen Robben, Kevin
Strootman, Stefan de Vrij and Quincy Promes among others due
to injury heading into the game and saw goalkeepers Jasper
Cillessen and Tim Krul pick up knocks in Astana.

"It looks like nothing normal happens any more. This is getting
extreme now," Blind told NOS.

"First there was Jasper's injury when we were warming up and
then later on Tim got injured as well. It looks like a bad injury.

"We are missing about 15 players now.

"But I have seen players getting injured all over the globe in
qualifiers."

Blind gave Kenny Tete, Virgil van Dijk, Anwar El Ghazi and
Jeroen Zoet their international debuts in Saturday's Group A
encounter and he was impressed with the performances of the
Southampton defender and the Ajax full-back.

"Van Dijk put in a fantastic performance at the back. And Tete
did a fine job as well. They are in fine form and I never had any
doubts about them.
"We were in control for 60 minutes, but forgot to add a third
goal.

"We struggled a bit from there on because of their opportunistic
style of play."

Saturday's victory kept Netherlands' chances of reaching Euro
2016 alive with just one more game to go.

Blind's men currently sit third in their group with 13 points from
nine games, but will drop to fourth place again if Turkey either
draw or beat Czech Republic later on Saturday.

The Dutch meet Czech Republic on October 13, with Kenneth
Vereer in their squad to replace Krul, while Turkey take on
Iceland.
