""He can play in several positions. You can see that at Aston Villa," Koeman said of Malen. "Of course, he can do it not only as a substitute, but also as a starting force. "But there is competition for the positions in which Donyell plays.""
""In the last part of the training, when he went to finish some balls, he got into trouble," Koeman said of the forward's injury that has ruled him out of their upcoming matches. "It turned out to be so serious that he unfortunately had to drop out.""

Donyell Malen is in line for a starting spot for the Netherlands' World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Finland after scoring twice in Aston Villa's 2-1 win over Burnley. The brace was his first in any competition since February 2024 for Borussia Dortmund. Mexx Meerdink sustained a training injury that ruled him out of the upcoming matches despite a first senior call-up. Memphis Depay joined the squad late due to a stolen passport and would not have started against Malta because of limited recent match minutes. There is competition for Malen's positions.
