MONTERREY, Mexico, June 29 : The Netherlands dropped midfielder Tijjani Reijnders and forward Donyell Malen for Monday’s World Cup Round of 32 clash against Morocco, who have made four changes.

• Reijnders is surprisingly left out as he makes way for Micky van de Ven with the Dutch looking to field five in defence while Crysencio Summerville is in for Donyell Malen.

• Cody Gakpo plays as expected despite his partner losing their unborn son during pregnancy last week.

• Morocco have dispensed with a traditional centre forward as Ayoub El Kaabi, who played in the 4-2 win over Haiti in their last match, is back on the bench.
