Dutch coach Koeman makes 3 changes for Romania last-16 tie
Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman made three changes for Tuesday's Euro 2024 last 16 clash with Romania, bringing Xavi Simons, Denzel Dumfries and Steven Bergwijn into the starting line-up.
The trio replaced Joey Veerman -- who was substituted after 35 minutes in the Netherlands' final group match with Austria -- Donyell Malen and Lutsharel Geertruida.
Koeman had ruled out major changes to his side on Monday, saying he would not "panic" after the 3-2 loss to group winners Austria, which relegated the Dutch to a third-place finish.
Romania made two changes to their team, with coach Edward Iordanescu bringing in Vasile Mogos for the suspended Nicusor Bancu and Dennis Man for Florinel Coman.
Romania's 3-0 win over Ukraine in the group stage -- just their second victory in Euros history -- put them on course to eventually top their pool.
