The midfielder is "struggling with an injury,” the national team said, and won't be available for the tournament. Coach Frank de Boer will not be naming a replacement, the team said.
Van de Beek scored 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute in the Netherlands' 7-0 rout of Gibraltar in a World Cup qualifier on March 30.
