Georginio Wijnaldum fractured his shin at the start of the season and has missed out on the chance to play his second World Cup. Asides from that, Van Gaal has a fully fit squad to choose from; Matthijs de Ligt and Memphis Depay have been struggling with injuries recently but should both recover in time.
Cody Gakpo
All eyes will be on Cody Gakpo in Qatar. With 13 goals and 17 assists for PSV this season, he's attracted the attention of the world's biggest clubs ahead of the January transfer window, and an impressive World Cup would all but secure a move to one of them. Growing into his role in the team as a number 10, Gakpo could have a big tournament.
Memphis Depay
Memphis Depay has been his nation's talisman for quite some time, grabbing 34 goals and 23 assists in his last 47 international matches. He's a far, far better player than the one that struggled at Manchester United and, if fit, will be the Netherlands' biggest threat.
Frenkie de Jong
Frenkie de Jong was going to be Van Gaal's most important player regardless of how his situation at Barcelona panned out in the first half of this season, but with the midfielder forcing his way into Xavi's plans with impressive performances, it's even more certain that he'll be running the show for Oranje. The 25-year-old oozes composure and that's crucial in tournament football.
As he did in 2014, Van Gaal has implemented a 3-4-1-2 system since returning to the Dutch job and already knows most of his starting XI ahead of the World Cup. That being said, who his starting goalkeeper will be remains uncertain, as does De Jong's central midfield partner. Netherlands predicted XI: Bijlow; Timber, Van Dijk, Ake; Dumfries, Berghui...
Van Gaal used this year's Nations League matches to experiment and take a look at a number of different players but managed to secure strong results nonetheless, with the Netherlands topping their group with five wins and a draw, with the highlight being a 4-1 win in Belgium. Prior to that, they beat Denmark 4-2 and played out a 1-1 draw with Germa...
