Netherlands goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has been ruled out of the friendly against England with a broken nose.

Jasper Cillessen will miss the friendly between Netherlands and England on Tuesday after breaking his nose in a training session.

The goalkeeper suffered the injury in a collision with striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and will play no part in the game at Wembley as a result.

Netherlands coach Danny Blind will now have to choose between Kenneth Vermeer and Jeroen Zoet, while England have goalkeeper problems of their own with both Joe Hart and Jack Butland injured.
