- Holland’s World Cup team is dealing with an outbreak of ‘flu symptoms’ ahead of Saturday’s round-of-16 matchup with Team USA in Qatar, and manager Louis van Gaal is admittedly concerned.
- The 71-year-old van Gaal did not elaborate too much, but did confirm that star midfielder Frenkie de Jong is among the players battling illness right now.
- ‘We are not going to elaborate on that,’ van Gaal said. ‘But if it goes around in the group, it is worrying.’
