De Boer will call for replacement for unfortunate Aké | Football

sport">The Manchester City defender left the field in the Johan Cruijff ArenA with a hamstring injury, which he sustained after a pass back to debuting goalkeeper Marco Bizot. Daley Blind replaced Aké. The early change was a disappointment for Frank de Boer, as the national coach wanted to save Blind for the Nations League duels against Bosnia and Herzegovina (Sunday) and Poland (next Wednesday).

sport">De Boer’s plan was to let his entire defense stand and to change his midfielders and forwards later in the game. “Nathan is going back to Manchester”, De Boer stated afterwards. “Hans Hateboer has four stitches in his head,” said the coach about the unfortunate right back, who was left in the dressing room at half time.

sport">“I do have a replacement in mind for Aké, but he will hear that first,” said De Boer, who will play with the Orange squad against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Sunday.
