Will miss World Cup De Vrij hasn't been selected for the World Cup "because he will need 12/14 days to recover from a strain, maybe longer, and he hadn't played a lot lately," coach Ronald Koeman anno...

Impact De Vrij was on the bubble, and a minor but untimely muscular problem won't allow him to participate in the competition. He'll easily shake it off during the summer. It remains to be seen whether he'll stay at Inter, as his contract is about to run out, but he's in talks with his current team.

Impact De Vrij filled in for Manuel Akanji and wasn't great like the rest of the Inter defense in this one. He'll undergo tests in the next few days to assess the severity of the injury and determine whether he'll be available for the World Cup.

Busy in Verona clash De Vrij generated two tackles (one won), five clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Verona.

Impact De Vrij posted team highs in clearances and interceptions as part of a composed outing despite seeing the clean sheet slip away late. However, it was his first appearance since April 17 after three matches on the bench, and his place in the rotation is far from secure with Alessandro Bastoni, Manuel Akanji and Yann Aurel Bisseck in the mix. The veteran has seen limited action this season but is averaging 5.0 clearances, 1.2 tackles and 0.8 interceptions per game when in the starting lineup.

Strong shift against Cagliari De Vrij won two of two tackles and had two blocks, five clearances and three interceptions in Friday's 3-0 victory over Cagliari.

Impact De Vrij drew his first start in a couple of months after being an unused sub in three straight matches, as Yann Aurel Bisseck (thigh) was out and Francesco Acerbi was spared, and got the job done in the back in an easy match-up. He has posted at least one clearance in his last five appearances, totaling 19 and adding seven tackles (three won), four interceptions and three blocks, with one clean sheet.

Scores against Como De Vrij scored one goal to go with two interceptions, four clearances and one tackle (one won) in Friday's 2-0 win versus Como.

Impact De Vrij got the nod over Francesco Acerbi for the third time in the last four matches and broke the deadlock with a header on a corner kick for his third goal of the season. He'll have a shot at starting against PSG if Yann Aurel Bisseck (knee) and Benjamin Pavard (ankle) aren't fit. He has tallied two tackles (both won), four interceptions, two blocks and 37 clearances in his last five showings, contributing to three clean sheets.
