Ruben van Bommel Debuts for Netherlands Following Grandfather and Father
Twenty-two-year-old PSV forward Ruben van Bommel made his debut for the Netherlands national team on Thursday evening against Germany, providing an assist in stoppage time for Cody Gakpo's equalizer. His appearance marks the first time a player has debuted for Oranje with both his father and grandfather having previously played for the national side. His grandfather, Bert van Marwijk, earned one cap, while his father, Mark van Bommel, played 79 times and is set to make his debut as Belgium's head coach against Italy on Friday. Van Bommel is the second player to debut under head coach Xavi, with Mexx Meerdink also entering the match as a substitute for the injured Brian Brobbey.
