Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek simply can't catch a break.

The Manchester United fringe first-teamer won't participate in the Netherlands' Euro 2020 campaign after suffering a groin injury, the Dutch Football Federation announced Tuesday.

"Donny van de Beek has to let the European Championship pass by," a statement from the Dutch Football Association read.

Netherlands boss Frank de Boer hasn't replaced Van de Beek in his 26-man squad ahead of the team's Group C opener against Ukraine on Sunday.

Van de Beek, 24, made just four league starts during his first year at United following a reported £35-million move from Amsterdam powerhouse Ajax the previous summer.
