Van Marwijk short-handed for semi-final

Holland coach Bert van Marwijk was today going back to the drawing board as he prepared his team for their World Cup semi-final clash with Uruguay.

Van Marwijk will be without right-back Gregory van der Wiel and holding midfielder Nigel de Jong for Tuesday night’s game in Cape Town after both were cautioned for the second time in the tournament during yesterday’s 2-1 quarter-final victory over favourites Brazil.
