Arjen Robben, Kevin Hofland and Dave van den Bergh have pulled out through injury from the Dutch squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Macedonia on Saturday and Finland next week.
The Dutch football association, KNVB, announced on Monday that Wolfsburg defender Hofland withdrew on Saturday with an ankle injury, while Chelsea's Robben was deemed not fit enough yet for a national team comeback.
The other left winger, Van den Bergh, came off in Utrecht's match against RKC Waalwijk on Sunday midway through the second half with a hamstring injury.
The Dutch have called up Willem II Tilburg winger Kevin Bobson who is set to make his international bow.
