Netherlands defender Bruno Martins Indi will definitely be missing for this country’s third and final group game against Chile on Monday 23rd of June and the 22 year old could also miss the pre quarter finals of the World cup.

The Feyenoord man was stretchered off after a collision with Australian striker Tim Cahill in the first half of his side’s 3-2 victory and has since had tests for concussion in Rio de Janeiro. He also had to stay in the hospital for an observation.
Both Chile and the Netherlands have already qualified for the knock round and will face each other to determine who tops the group on Monday evening.
The first knockout round matches will be played on 28th or 29th of June and if the Dutch can top the group they will play on 29th which means an extra day for Martins Indi to rest and recover.
A draw is good enough for the Oranje to top group B of FIFA World Cup.

I come from a vast and a varied country - India. Big football fan, big Newcastle United, Ajax, Dortmund fan.
That’s terrible news. I wonder if it will see Van Gaal shift to 433.
Off all the teams in the group, I would have thought that Chile would be the perfect opposition for the 352 that Van Gaal started with in the previous two games.
