Ruben van Bommel impresses as PSV winger nears Netherlands selection
Summary

Ruben van Bommel's strong performances for PSV following his return from injury have put him in contention for a call-up to the Netherlands national team. PSV general manager Marcel Brands confirmed that new head coach Xavi Hernández is considering the 22-year-old among other players for his first squad announcement next Friday. Van Bommel's recent form, highlighted by a notable display in PSV's 3-1 victory over Ajax, has garnered attention, although Brands expressed some concern about rushing the winger back into international play. Former players expect Van Bommel's development to position him favorably for future selections as Xavi looks to integrate younger talents into the squad.
