Ronald Koeman has named uncapped PSV forward Donyell Malen in Netherlands' provisional squad for their upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against Germany and Estonia.
The 20-year-old has started seven of PSV's eight matches this season and is in contention to make his senior international bow next month.
An initial 29-man group has been named for the games against Germany in Hamburg on September 6 and Estonia in Tallinn three days later.
Ajax centre-back Joel Veltman has been recalled by Koeman but there is still no room for Lyon right-back Kenny Tete, who has been used as a sub in Lyon's first two Ligue 1 matches.
