"Roma" club and Dutch national team midfielder Kevin Strootman will not be able to help the national team in the World Cup due to injury. On Monday, while training the Dutch team, Louis van Gaal revealed that we will not see K. Strootman in the upcoming World Cup in Brazil. The footballer suffered a knee injury during the match between "Napoli" and "Roma" on Sunday evening, when he was forced to leave the field with only 12 minutes left until the end of the match. On Monday morning, further examinations were performed on the Dutch player, confirming the worst prognosis. It is reported that K. Strootman not only tore his meniscus but also had a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligaments of his left knee. The footballer will have to miss the remaining part of the season and the World Cup. Just last summer, Strootman, who transferred to "Roma," became one of the key players of the team. This season, the midfielder played 24 matches in the "Serie A" championship, scoring 5 goals and providing the same number of assists."
