THE NETHERLANDSโ STAR striker Vivianne Miedema is back with the Oranjeโs Euro 2022 squad after her positive Covid-19 test in time for their quarter-final against France, the champions announced Wednesday.
Miedema, 26, was ruled out of her countryโs second match against Portugal last week.
The Arsenal player is her countryโs all-time leading scorer with 94 goals in 112 appearances and so her return is a major boost ahead of Saturdayโs meeting with Les Bleues.
โViv is backโ the Netherlands confirmed on Twitter.

In her absence the Dutch overcame Portugal 3-2 and defeated Switzerland 4-1 to progress to the knockout stages as runners-up to Sweden in Group C.
Her return is timely following the competition-ending foot injury of another Dutch star, Paris Saint-Germainโs Lieke Martens, on Tuesday.
Midfielder Jackie Groenen has also returned from isolation after contracting coronavirus.
The Dutch are however without their captain and goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal who suffered a shoulder injury in the tournament opener with Sweden.
