Southampton loanee Wesley Hoedt has admitted that he has fallen out of favour for a spot in the Netherlands national team, but is hopeful that it could change if he puts himself back on the map.
The 25-year-old centre-back, who is currently on loan at Belgian top flight club Royal Antwerp, has six caps for the Dutch national side.
However, Hoedt has not made a single appearance for his country since 2017, which is also the same year he made a £15m move to Southampton.
The former Lazio man wishes to represent the Oranje again but has admitted that he has done little in terms of performances to earn a call-up.
Hoedt conceded that he is no longer in line for a call-up to Ronald Koeman's Dutch squad but is positive it could change if he proves his quality at Royal Antwerp.
"My last [Netherlands] cap dates back to September 2017", Hoedt told Belgian daily Het Laatste Nieuws.
"I have to be honest and admit that I have shown too little for a while now.
"I spoke with national coach Ronald Koeman last year.
"Realistically, I am now out of the picture, but maybe that will change if I can put myself back on the map here."
Hoedt has made four league appearances for Royal Antwerp this season, helping the side sit fourth in the league table.
