Netherlands captain Arjen Robben will miss his country's crucial final two Euro 2016 qualifiers after failing to make a sufficient recovery from a groin injury.
Robben suffered the injury in Netherlands' 1-0 defeat to Iceland last month and has not played since.
On Friday, under-pressure coach Danny Blind called up 20-year-old Ajax winger Anwar El Ghazi as a possible replacement on the right flank.
Iceland and Czech Republic have already qualified from Group A, with Netherlands two points adrift of third-placed Turkey in the fight for a playoff spot after a disastrous qualifying campaign.
Blind is also without defenders Stefan de Vrij and long-term absentee Ron Vlaar.
The Dutch travel to Astana to play Kazakhstan on Oct. 10 and take on Czech Republic in Amsterdam three days later.
