Dutch national football coach Bert van Marwijk has dropped Nigel de Jong from the squad for European Cup qualifiers against Moldavia and Sweden.

De Jong, who plays for English side Manchester City, was involved in a bad tackle on Newcastle player Hatem Ben Arfa on Saturday, which left the Frenchman’s leg broken in two places.
Van Marwijk said he had discussed the issue with the rest of the team. ‘I told them there was nothing else I could do,’ the coach said.
Wout Brama from FC Twente has been called up to replace De Jong.
