The Chelsea defender Khalid Boulahrouz will remain with the Dutch Euro 2008 squad despite a family tragedy, the coach, Marco van Basten, said yesterday.
Boulahrouz's wife was taken to hospital this week with pregnancy complications and the couple's prematurely-born daughter later died. "I understand it is very difficult for Khalid and we will all try to support him however we can," Van Basten said, adding that the defender had the freedom to leave the team's hotel whenever he wanted.
