Joshua Zirkzee has been drafted into the Netherlands squad for the Nations League trip to Serbia. Here is when he joins up, the fixtures he could play in, and what it means for United.
Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee has been called up by the Netherlands after Brian Brobbey was ruled out with a hamstring injury.
The key points
Brobbey, who plays for Sunderland, was injured in the Netherlands' 1-1 draw with Germany on Thursday 24 September and has returned to his club for treatment.
Head coach Xavi Hernandez, who took a point from his first game in charge, said before the call-up that another striker would be added. It is now Zirkzee.
The 25-year-old has made four appearances for United this season, according to the Manchester Evening News.
What happens next
Zirkzee is expected to report to the Dutch FA's Amsterdam base on Friday evening for a medical check before travelling with the squad to Belgrade. Netherlands play Serbia in the Nations League on Sunday 27 September, then face Greece on Thursday 1 October before hosting Serbia in Eindhoven.
What it means for United
United do not play during the international window, so the trip costs Carrick no matches. His side's next fixture is at home to Tottenham at Old Trafford on Saturday 10 October, and you can follow every date on our fixtures page. We will update this story if Zirkzee's minutes or fitness change.
