Chelsea-bound striker Emegha gets first Netherlands call for World Cup qualifiers

Chelsea-bound Strasbourg forward Emmanuel Emegha got his first call-up from the Netherlands on Tuesday as a replacement for the injured Wout Weghorst ahead of decisive 2026 World Cup qualifying games. The 22-year-old Emegha is cover for Ajax veteran Weghorst who will likely not be fit to face Poland on Friday. A draw in Warsaw will effectively ensure the group-leading Netherlands advances to the World Cup ahead of a final qualifying game against Lithuania on Monday.
