Nathan Ake was replaced at halftime of the Netherlands’ 3-0 victory against Greece, leaving Manchester City’s coaching staff to question his health.

The Netherlands and France entered Thursday’s match with a goal of finishing second in Group B of the European Championship Qualification, where France remains far ahead with 15 points after having played two more games than the Netherlands.

The Netherlands scored all three of their goals in the first half, which included the game’s opening goal by Marten de Roon, to put the match beyond any reasonable question.

After the midfielder’s initial effort, Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo scored, and then former Manchester United cult hero Wout Weghorst added the game’s decisive goal for Greece.However, Nathan Ake of Manchester City, who had been playing on the left in a back-three for the Netherlands with Virgil van Dijk and Lutsharel Geertruida at center-back, suffered a serious injury during the halftime break. According to information provided by Dutch broadcaster NOS, Nathan Aké’s injury prevented him from returning for the game’s second half as scheduled. His hamstring was ‘likely’ to have been the issue, according to the article at the time.The Manchester City player “suffered some minor complaints,” according to De Telegraaf and other sources, which ultimately led to his departure as a precaution. That idea was supported by manager Ronald Koeman, who said after the game, “We didn’t want to take any risks with him.”
