Paris Saint-Germain starlet Xavi Simons and four other players have been expelled from Holland's U19 camp for breaking the team's Covid bubble after two of them invited a girl to their hotel room.
Simons, 18, along with Ajax youngsters Ar'jany Martha, Naci Unuvar, Rio Hillen and Feyenoord's Mimeirhel Benita were all sent home by manager Bert Konterman and were absent from the 3-0 defeat by Italy on Monday.
According to De Telegraaf, the girl was invited to the hotel by Martha and Benita. Simons, Hillen and Unuvar went to check what was happening after hearing loud music but immediately returned to their own room.

However, the three players were spotted by a member of the national team's staff, who then informed Konterman of their involvement in the situation.
As a result, Konterman decided to send all five players home.
