BREAKING NEWS ๐๐๐: Aston Villa star leaves euro 2024 after playing zero minute despite cutting holiday short due to late call-up
Aston Villa star Ian Maatsen leaves Euro 2024 after playing zero minutes despite cutting holiday short due to late call-up ¹ ² ³:
- Ian Maatsen was called up to the European Championship at very late notice.
- Maatsen was quick to answer the call from Ronald Koeman when he was drafted into the Netherlands European Championship squad.
- However, despite cancelling some much needed time off with his partner on a glamorous looking yacht, the former Chelsea star failed to win a single minute of action in Germany.
- Maatsen had initially been left out of the squad, learning of his omission just three days ahead of his participation in the Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund.
- Maatsen is yet to be handed his international debut after playing a multitude of games at numerous youth levels.
- After departing Chelsea on loan in January for Borussia Dortmund, Maatsen has now joined Aston Villa from Stamford Bridge and will link up with Unai Emery's side after he returns from the tournament.
- The Dutch side made it all the way to the semi-finals perhaps against expectation in Germany.
- However, England proved too stern a test, the Three Lions coming out 2-1 winners after Ollie Watkins' 91st-minute winner on Wednesday night knocked out the Netherlands.
