Holland coach Bert van Marwijk is prepared to make a late decision on the fitness of star man Arjen Robben ahead of Thursday's meeting with Cameroon.
The Bayern Munich winger has not played at this summer's World Cup due to a lingering hamstring injury and he was a late arrival in South Africa after undergoing rehabilitation.
Robben trained on Wednesday night and he feels confident about his fitness, but Van Marwijkwill only use that session as a measure of the former Chelsea and Real Madrid player before deciding on his team to face Cameroon.
With Holland already guaranteed a place in the last 16 before their match against a team who cannot progress from the group stages, the game in Cape Town could be a good opportunity for Robben to make his return.
However, Van Marwijk is not prepared to gamble as he bids to wrap up top spot in Group E. Van Marwijk revealed Rafael van der Vaart and Eljero Elia will be available after slight neck and foot injuries respectively.
