Curaçao will have to do without Deveron Fonville, Jürgen Locadia, and Armando Obispo during their friendly matches in Australia. The trio did not travel with the selection of national coach Fred Rutten due to injuries.

What happened?

NEC defender Fonville, PSV defender Obispo, and Locadia, who currently plays in Miami, were part of Rutten's initial selection. However, they will not be able to play in the friendly matches against China and Australia.

Why is this important for Curaçao?

Rutten is now working with a selection of 23 players in Australia towards the two friendly matches. Curaçao is preparing for their first World Cup participation in history.

What's next?

There is also a friendly match against Scotland planned for May. On June 14, they will make their World Cup debut against Germany.
