Euro 2020 Qualifiers: Virgil van Dijk to miss Netherland's clash against Estonia

The Netherlands will be without their skipper Virgil van Dijk when they will host Estonia in their Euro 2020 qualifiers. Virgil will be missing the clash due to some personal reasons which have not been revealed yet. The Dutch have already qualified for Euro 2020 after their goalless clash against Northern Ireland on November 17, 2019. The Champions League-winning defender left the training camp after the match and will be unavailable for the Tuesday night clash. Dutch Football Association (KNVB) released a statement which read that the player will not play in the match due to "personal circumstances".
