Romania vs Netherlands Team News, Injury Update

• Romania has entered the knock-outs of any major tournament after a long 24 years since Euro 2000.
• Boasting with a strong midfield and defensive line-up the Netherlands have failed to perform up to the mark, winning only one match in Group D and losing to Austria by 3-2. Ronald Koeman will have the service of the full squad, as no player is injured or suspended.
• Cody Gakpo has been the most threatening forward for the Oranje and he will be accompanied by an impressive Memphis Depay. Another forward Wout Weghorst had a history of stepping up his game in the big matches. Xavi Simons has shown some glimpses of his talent in these matches but that may not be enough to proceed further. In the defence, Virgil van Dijk and Nathan Ake also have been brilliant. Jeremie Frimpong, the youngster having a wonderful season for Leverkusen needs to step up his game.

• Razvan Marin has been the top scorer for the Tricolorii and along with Dennis Man are the key players in the midfield. Despite decent displays by Andrei Ratiu, the Romanian defence has to boost their performance, as 47 shots are taken against them, which is the second highest after Georgia.
