SAINTS keeper Maarten Stekelenburg has been called up to the Netherlands squad for tomorrow's Euro 2016 qualifier at home to Czech Republic.
Manager Danny Blind has added the 33-year-old to his group after injuries to Tim Krul and Jasper Cillessen.
It is the first time since October 2012 that Stekelenburg, who is on loan at Saints this season, has been involved with the Dutch national team.
He will link up with clubmate Virgil van Dijk, who made his senior debut in Saturday's 2-1 win away to Kazakhstan.
The Netherlands, who have endured a fairly miserable campaign, need to win tomorrow night and hope that Turkey lose at home to leaders Iceland in order for them to earn a spot in the play-offs.
