Tottenham star will miss England game
Rafael van der Vaart has pulled out of the Holland squad for their friendly against England on Wednesday.
The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, who came on as a half-time substitute in the weekend defeat to Arsenal, has an ankle injury.
The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) said in a statement that Van der Vaart had picked up the injury during the match at the Emirates.
Van der Vaart is the second player to withdraw from Bert van Marwijk's squad, after Swansea's goalkeeper Michel Vorm was sidelined with an illness.
