Newcastle defender Daryl Janmaat has pulled out of Holland squad's for their upcoming European qualifiers after suffering a hamstring strain.

The 25-year-old right-back played the full 90 minutes of Saturday's 2-2 draw at Swansea City, despite being hampered by the problem, but his fitness will not be risked by Dutch boss coach Guus Hiddink, who has recalled Paul Verhaegh. 

Hiddink initially dropped the Augsburg player after he was named in the preliminary squad, but he returns to contention for Friday's home match against Kazakhstan and the meeting against Iceland in Reykjavik next Monday 

Janmaat has been a regular starter for Newcastle since joining the club in a summer move from Feyenoord, making nine appearances and scoring his first goal in the 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace.  

He was denied the chance to redeem himself after his late error gifted the Czech Republic a late-winner in last month's opening Group A qualifier.

This defeat was Holland's first in qualifying for almost three years, but they are still favourites to top the table.
