Netherlands No. 1 Jasper Cillessen will miss Tuesday's trip to Wembley Stadium to face England after breaking his nose in training Sunday.
The Ajax shot-stopper collided with teammate Klaas-Jan Huntelaar during drills, with Cillessen emerging worse for wear.
The Dutch football federation confirmed he'll miss the London friendly. He is the eighth player from Danny Blind's squad selected for the two international break matches to drop out due to injury.

It's uncertain if the injury will keep transfer target Cillessen out of Ajax's next Eredivisie tilt, when the 33-time Dutch champs host PEC Zwolle on April 3.
The 24-time capped Oranje international has appeared in 27 league matches this season for Frank de Boer's table-toppers, boasting a league-best 14 clean sheets.
