El Ghazi in line for Netherlands debut

Netherlands coach Danny Blind has included Ajax winger Anwar El Ghazi in his 23-man squad for the first time for the upcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Czech Republic.

The 20-year-old has been one of the revelations of the Eredivisie this campaign, scoring seven goals in as many league appearances, and recently declared that he would represent Netherlands at international level rather than Morocco.

Blind is still without Bayern Munich attacker Arjen Robben due to injury, while Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij and PSV striker Luuk de Jong also miss out due to physical problems.

Nigel de Jong, Bruno Martins Indi, Luciano Narsingh and Gregory van der Wiel are arguably the biggest absentees from Blind's squad.

Iceland and Czech Republic have already qualified for next year's showpiece in France.
