Marco Van Basten updated the squad: he called Khalid Boulahrouz

You know, it is time to reorganize the teams, just as puzzles. Now it is Netherlands time because the original list from Marco Van Basten has changed. The coach decided to cut Ajax defender Urby Emanuelson, AZ Alkmaar's Kew Jaliens, Valencia midfielder Hedwiges Maduro and PSV Eindhoven striker Danny Koevermans.

Also Clarence Seedorf (AC Milan) said goodbye, so he must be replaced by Khalid Boulahrouz who was part of the team during the World Cup Germany 2006 and was bought by Chelsea that year for a fee of £8.500.000, but he played only 8 matches defending Sevilla this season.

Here we have the updated Netherlands squad for EURO 2008:
Goalkeepers:
Sander Boschker (FC Twente), Edwin van der Sar (Manchester United FC), Maarten Stekelenburg (AFC Ajax), Henk Timmer (Feyenoord).

Defenders: Wilfred Bouma (Aston Villa), Tim de Cler (Feyenoord), John Heitinga (Ajax), Joris Mathijsen (Hamburg), Mario Melchiot (Wigan Athletic), Andre Ooijer (Blackburn Rovers), Khalid Boulahrouz (Sevilla).
