Bart Verbruggen has been challenged to prove he is Holland’s No.1 goalkeeper.
But the Albion man will NOT be between the sticks against Greece tomorrow.
Verbruggen was believed to be in contention to start after his summer move to the Seagulls.
Dutch boss Ronald Koeman confirmed today Brentford keeper Mark Flekken will start in Eindhoven ahead of Verbruggen and Andries Noppert.
But the message was clear for the man who has started the last two Albion matches.
Koeman said: “Flekken will play goalkeeping, yes, because I think he deserves it.
“Bart is and will be a great keeper. He can show that he is ultimately the better one.
“He has a great future ahead of him but, for tomorrow night, I choose Mark."
