Makaay to miss both Dutch World Cup qualifiers [Fri Sep 2nd, 2005]
Amsterdam (Reuters) - Dutch striker Roy Makaay will miss both of his country's World Cup qualifiers over the next week because of a knee injury.
Makaay had already been ruled out of the Group One tie in Armenia on Saturday, but Dutch national team medical staff had hoped to pass him fit to face Andorra in a home match the following Wednesday.
"I feel no pain, but I can't move the knee properly," said Makaay. "At the moment it is hard to say how long it will take. I have to wear a brace and in the beginning of next week we will decide when I can start training again."
The Bayern Munich forward sustained the injury last Wednesday when he strained his knee and left the Dutch training camp in Noordwijk on to be treated at his club in Germany.
