Rotterdam and Netherlands national team player Romeo Castelen will not be able to play until October - during friendly matches on Sunday, the forward suffered a shin injury.
Initially, it seemed that the injury was not serious, but after further examinations, it turned out that the shin will need to be casted for four weeks, with the same amount of time for rehabilitation.
Due to the injury, R. Castelen will have to miss the start of the UEFA Cup and the Dutch championship, as well as the Netherlands national team's European Championship qualifying matches against Luxembourg and Belarus.
