Dutch NT

The coach had announced the first selection for the Golden League games. The team:
Bold is almost certain they will go to ECh

@dutchfan what do you think of the chances with this team at the Ech?

@Fanfromned they miss a lot of experience. Polman will not be near her 2019 lvl. Also there is no good CB to replace Smits. Snelder will hugely missed in defence and abbingh missing is also a big blow. I personally don't miss Wester, but I'm uncertain about ten holte's backups. I doubt they get far

Then we think the same way. Hoping for the combination Freriks and dulfer in defence is still good like they where for BVB and that dulfer will take her role in attack. I hope molenaar will get the chance for experience. And the creativitie from nusser will be missed too in CB.

Yeah agree, they should be happy if they end in top 10 but I doubt it

I saw on europamester that she (Polman) will be playing in 2 to 3 weeks (but that was like a week ago or something. I personally hope that Bont won't be in the team. In my eyes she has never been anything special, she isn't very fast and she doesn't take many of the chances she gets

The list with the first 14 players who will go to the ECh. The last few players will be decided later, because some people are struggling with injury and Per doesn't want to select them before he is sure.

LW: Zoë Sprengers (BVB Dortmund), Bo van Wetering (Odense)

LB: Kelly Dulfer (SG BBM Bietigheim), Kim Molenaar (København Håndbold), Estavana Polman (Nykøbing Falster)

CB: Inger Smits (SG BBM Bietigheim), Maxime Struijs (SV union Halle-neustadt)

P: Merel Freriks (Brest Bretagne), Nikita van der Vliet (Nykøbing Falster)

GK: Rinka Duijndam (Sola HK), Yara ten Holte (BVB Dortmund)

https://www.handbal.nl/blog/2022/10/11/per-johansson-maakt-definitieve-ek-selectie-bekend/

The last 4 for the final tournament have been selected: Housheer, van Kreij, Vollebregt and Wolffs join the other 14 players https://www.handbal.nl/blog/2022/10/17/bondscoach-per-johansson-maakt-ek-selectie-compleet/

Because of a ball in the face ten Holte will not play in the Golden League anymore. Bianca Schanssema will replace her. Probably she will be back for ECh, because I think that Per would have gone for a bit more experience if ten Holte wouldn't make it

Harma van Kreij is out with a knee injury. She will travel home and Claudia Rompen (GK) will take her spot as reserve

Both Van der Heijden and Housheer will miss the qualification games this week. Vd Heijden has a broken nose and housheer is ill https://www.handbalinside.nl/van-der-heijden-en-housheer-haken-af-bij-nederlands-team/

Yvette Broch will replace Merel Freriks because of her injury for the WCh.
The full squad (without above change) https://www.handbal.nl/blog/2023/11/06/bondscoach-per-johansson-maakt-definitieve-wk-selectie-bekend/

The squad for the ECh qualifications. Quite a few surprises. No lieder, no Broch and no Vollebregt. Instead there is a place for wolfs and hendrikse. https://www.handbalinside.nl/lieder-ontbreekt-in-selectie-wel-plek-voor-hendrikse/?fbclid=IwAR0LB5L2X2HjATOT3vcunlGlJmJovipPsGdx14dlLGrqAoc0iHhb1K6Vj_c
