Barcelona's Dutch midfielder, Frenkie de Jong, will miss the EURO in Germany as he hasn't recovered in time from the ankle problems that have kept him out of action since the end of April.

"Even though we initially hoped he would be ready to play during the group stage, a scheduled exam yesterday and today showed that his ankle is still not strong enough. Since his recovery will take longer, it has been decided that Frenkie de Jong will not play in the EURO," the Dutch Football Federation said in a statement.

Dutch coach Ronald Koeman will decide "later," as the statement emphasized, "whether to bring in a replacement for De Jong" for the EURO roster.
