WORLD CUP 2010: Robin van Persie and Joris Mathijsen fit for Uruguay
HOLLAND stars Robin van Persie and Joris Mathijsen are fit to play in Tuesday’s World Cup semi-final against Uruguay in Cape Town.
Both players had scans – Van Persie on an elbow and Mathijsen on a knee injury.
But the Dutch FA confirmed: “Neither scan on Van Persie or Mathijsen showed any serious damage.”
Holland knocked favourites Brazil out of the tournament on Friday with a comeback 2-1 win in Port Elizabeth.
Mathijsen had been named in the starting line-up against Brazil but was injured in the warm-up.
