Van Dijk played in Liverpool's 3-1 win at Crystal Palace on Sunday, keeping up his record of playing every minute in the Premier League this season, but a KNVB statement said he was not fit.

Van Dijk's previous international appearance, the 2-1 victory over Serbia in early October, was his 100th cap.

Striker Brobbey played for Sunderland in their 1-0 win over Chelsea on Sunday but is also not fit, according to the association.
