At a press conference ahead of tonight's round of 16 tie against Morocco, national team coach Ronald Koeman was asked about how the squad had handled the tragedy.
"We have done what was in our power in terms of support. We have been his support, he can trust us, the other players," he said, according to Sportbladet.
Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk also expressed his support for his teammate.
"It's terrible news and it shows that football is secondary. There are more important things in life," he said.
