<p>Verbruggen fell heavily after being knocked while catching a ‌ball in the 2-1 win over Uzbekistan, forcing ‌him to hobble off.</p><p><strong>"He did not take part in training. ‌We have to wait and see and hope that ‌he can be involved on Sunday," </strong>coach Ronald Koeman told a press conference at the team base on Wednesday.</p><p>But the coach ‌offered a positive outlook later.</p><p><strong>"It's only ⁠a bruise, so we ‌don't know yet how things will be on Sunday. We are ​hopeful, but we'll have to see how far along he actually is."</strong></p><p>Koeman said it was not ​a concern because he had other good goalkeepers.</p><p><strong>"Who might play in goal? We still have to decide that. ⁠We will provide clarity ​on that during our discussions with the goalkeepers,"</strong> the coach added.</p><p>Mark Flekken took over from Verbruggen in the match against Uzbekistan, and the other choice is Robin Roefs, ‌who won his first cap a week ago when the Dutch lost a friendly to Algeria in Rotterdam.</p><p>Koeman was also asked if he had made up his mind who would lead the attack in Dallas on Sunday, a question referring to Memphis Depay’s fitness after a thigh injury that has limited his playing time over the last three months.</p><p>The Netherlands' record goalscorer has struggled in 2026, playing just four league games for Corinthians and averaging a Flashscore Rating of 6.5</p><p>"It’s Wednesday and we play on Sunday, but I think if I still have doubts then ​I haven’t done my homework properly.</p><p><strong>"We know that ‌Memphis has had some injuries and hasn't played in recent weeks, but now he's back. Every day he is getting closer to his top level.</strong></p><p><strong>"He is our all-time leading goal scorer and we need him, ⁠just like we need ⁠all the other players," ‌</strong>Koeman added.</p>
