Midfield
Manchester United target and Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman who was touted to be one of the key players for the Dutch this campaign will be a big miss for last edition’s runners up. Frank Ribery’s World Cup dreams was also dashed when Didier Deschamps declared that the Bayern Munich midfielder had to rule himself out thanks to a longstanding back problem. Thiago Alcantara joins his team mate in our starting eleven and he will be perhaps Vicente Del Bosque’s biggest miss for the La Roja. Geramny’s huge blow comes in the form of Marco Reus who was destined to make his mark in the International stages after having a stunning season with Borussia Dortmund. Sadly the midfielder twisted his ankle in the friendly against Armenia and will miss the action.
