Kluivert still available for Holland

NEWCASTLE United striker Patrick Kluivert has angrily denied reports of his retirement from international football.

The 28-year-old, capped 79 times by Holland, had reportedly decided to turn his back on the national team to concentrate on club football.

Kluivert said: "They put words in my mouth. I only told them that I was disappointed in the words of the coach that I am last in the line of strikers for Oranje."
