Nathan Ake has openly admitted that his limited playing time at Manchester City could affect his chances of being selected for the Netherlands squad ahead of the upcoming World Cup, following honest conversations with head coach Ronald Koeman.
Speaking after City were held to a frustrating draw by Sunderland , as reported by SoftFootball , the defender revealed that Koeman has made his stance clear on several occasions regarding the importance of regular club football.
The 30-year-old acknowledged that the message from the Dutch boss, which was shared by Fabrizio Romano on his official X account , is straightforward. If he is not playing consistently, a national team call-up becomes difficult.
