World Cup 2014: Holland are hit by fitness concerns over five players
Five regular Holland starters missed full training as Louis van Gaal’s team prepared for their last-16 game against Mexico.
Arjen Robben was restricted to running up and down the sidelines at Flamengo’s training ground in Rio de Janeiro, along with the defenders Stefan de Vrij and Daley Blind and the midfielder Nigel de Jong, while other members of the team played a practice match.
The defender Bruno Martins Indi, who is recovering from a concussion picked up in Holland’s win over Australia, spent the session firing shots at the goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen and did not train with the rest of the team.

The substitute midfielder Leroy Fer, who strained a hamstring in training a day after scoring the opening goal in the 2-0 defeat of Chile, also did not train.
