Memphis Depay was named to the Netherlands’ starting XI for the first time in their final Group A clash against Qatar in 2022.
The Barcelona forward was expected to miss the tournament’s opening match against Senegal due to a hamstring injury, but he eventually came off the bench as the team defeated Senegal 2-0.
As Louis van Gaal’s team drew with Ecuador, Depay was once more a substitute, and the manager insisted prior to the match against hosts Qatar that he would not be taking any chances.

HOWEVER, HE SAID:
“We’re going to do anything and everything to progress to the next match.”
