Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how the Netherlands could line up for Tuesday's international friendly with Germany.

Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal is expected to freshen the team up for Tuesday's international friendly with Germany at the Johan Cruijff Arena.

Oranje saw Cody Gakpo, Jurrien Timber and Jordan Teze all withdraw from the squad due to injury last week, but Van Gaal has no fresh concerns to deal with following the win over Denmark.

The Dutch boss experimented with a three-man central defence against the Danes in order to match their similar setup, but a return to a four against a high-flying Germany could see goalscorer Nathan Ake drop out.

The quick turnaround should also see Owen Wijndal come into contention for a start at left-back over Daley Blind, with Matthijs de Ligt and Virgil van Dijk both holding their places.

Georginio Wijnaldum found himself on the bench on Saturday but will expect to displace Teun Koopmeiners in the midfield here, with Frenkie de Jong and Steven Berghuis also occupying central roles.

Steven Bergwijn put on a dazzling display against Denmark and will hope to keep the momentum going on the right-hand side, while Arnaut Danjuma ought to provide some fresh legs in attack.

Memphis Depay's penalty against the Danes was his 39th strike for Oranje, and one more would see the Barcelona man draw level with Patrick Kluivert in third in the men's team's all-time top goalscoring charts.

Netherlands possible starting lineup: Flekken; Dumfries, De Ligt, Van Dijk, Wijndal; Wijnaldum, De Jong; Bergwijn, Berghuis, Danjuma; Depay
