Women's Euros: Man Utd and Netherlands star Groenen isolating after COVID-19 positive
The news emerged just 13 hours after Groenen played the full 90 minutes against Sweden in the Netherlands' opener, a 1-1 draw at Sheffield United's Bramall Lane stadium.
In a statement on Twitter, Oranje team officials stated: "Jackie Groenen has unfortunately tested positive for COVID-19 and will therefore be in isolation for the next few days. When she is free of complaints and tests negative, she can rejoin the selection."
After the draw with a Sweden team who are strongly fancied to advance alongside the Dutch to the quarter-final stage, the Netherlands play their next game against Portugal on Wednesday in Leigh, before returning to Bramall Lane next Sunday to tackle Switzerland.
Groenen plays club football for Manchester United, with the 27-year-old having played for the Women's Super League side since the 2019-20 season.
She became the team's first-ever overseas recruit, arriving following United's promotion to the English top flight.
