Holland winger Arjen Robben is to rejoin the Dutch squad tomorrow, two days before their World Cup opener against Denmark.

The Bayern Munich star suffered a tear to his hamstring in Saturday's final pre-tournament friendly, a 6-1 win over Hungary, and remained in Holland when the rest of the squad flew to South Africa.

"I haven't seen him for a week. We will see tomorrow," said coach Bert van Marwijk when asked about the player's fitness.

Real Madrid midfielder Rafael van der Vaart could be in line to take his place should Robben not recover for the Group E game against Denmark.

Physio Dick van Toorn yesterday declared Robben fit to play, but the second game against Japan seems a more likely target.

Van Marwijk has not called up a replacement.
