Netherlands predicted XI vs. Lithuania: Possible lineup for World Cup qualifier as Memphis Depay dropped

Netherlands are set to make some attacking alterations to their XI for the World Cup 2026 qualifier versus Lithuania on Sunday evening.

Oranje dropped points for the first time in the section on Thursday night in a 1-1 draw with Poland, after which head coach Ronald Koeman was critical of his side's wastefulness in front of net.

Despite providing the assist for Denzel Dumfries first-half opener, Memphis Depay could be a name in the forward line who drops to the bench.

The international veteran was suffering with both injury and illness prior to this camp, with former Manchester United man Wout Weghorst waiting in the wings for a start.

The visitors in Kaunas will have a strong Premier League representation, with eight of their 11 starters on Thursday night currently plying their trade in England's top flight.

Recently securing a switch to newly-promoted Sunderland, Robin Roefs has been included in an Oranje squad for the first time but is unlikely to earn his senior debut on Sunday.

The Black Cats goalkeeper has a pair of more experienced operators on the international stage ahead of him in the pecking order in the form of Bart Verbruggen and Mark Flekken.

Netherlands possible starting lineup: Verbruggen; Dumfries, Van Hecke, Van Dijk, Van de Ven; Gravenberch, Reijnders, De Jong; Simons, Gakpo; Weghorst
