Steven Berghuis has become the 15th Watford player to be called up for international duty after being added to the Dutch squad for three forthcoming friendlies.

The 24-year-old, who did not make a league start for the Hornets this season following his move from AZ Alkmaar last summer, replaces injured Utrecht midfielder Bart Ramselaar in the squad to face the Republic of Ireland on Friday, Poland on June 1 and Austria on June 4.

A former Under-19 and Under-21 international, Berghuis has yet to make his full international debut.

The other Watford players on international duty are Nordin Amrabat, Ikechi Anya, Valon Behrami, Craig Cathcart, Jose Holebas, Odion Ighalo, Miguel Layun, Allan Nyom, Costel Pantilimon, Juan Carlos Paredes, Adalberto Penaranda, Sebastian Prodl, Daniel Pudil and Matej Vydra.
