New Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken will take over as the Netherlands' first choice for their European qualifier on Thursday, coach Ronald Koeman said on the eve of the match against Greece in Eindhoven.

He confirmed at the pre-match press conference that Flekken, who joined Brentford in May from Bundesliga side Freiburg, would start the Group B game as the Dutch continue to struggle over a regular first choice for their team.
