A dozen PSV players have been called up to the national team. For Joey Veerman and Walter Benítez, the call-up will be extra special. They may make their national debuts in the coming international period.
Xavi Simons and Joey Veerman have been called up by national coach Ronald Koeman. Xavi made his debut for Orange during the World Cup. Joey was called up last international period, but dropped out early. So he has yet to make his debut, which may happen in the Nations League semifinals. The Orange will then play Croatia.
