Injured Holland captain Virgil van Dijk will be heading to the Euros this summer after reportedly being handed a non-playing role. Now, Holland have sought how best to utilise Van Dijk at the tournament and the 29-year-old has been handed an 'unofficial backroom staff role,' according to the Mirror. It was first noticed that Van Dijk would likely be playing a role in the tournament after Holland's recently friendly with Scotland. Despite his injury, Van Dijk was in attendance and allocated a seat just behind the main bench. Van Dijk made his Holland debut in 2015 and has won 38 caps for his country, yet has never featured at an international tournament to date.
