Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum struggled in friendly clash with Peru.
Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum found it tough going last night for the Netherlands.
Wijnaldum was picked as a starter in the Dutch side which hosted Peru in a friendly.
Picked in a defensive midfield role alongside Kevin Strootman, Wijnaldum found it difficult to make his mark.
Both Wijnaldum and Strootman were substituted at half-time by Dutch boss Ronald Koeman with Netherlands 1-0 down.
Ajax’s Frenkie De Jong and Brighton’s Davy Propper came on in their place, and helped turn it around, with Memphis Depay scoring twice to seal a 2-1 victory.
