Heitinga Called Up

Everton defender John Heitinga has been called up to the Dutch squad for Euro 2012 qualifiers against San Marino and Finland.

Bizarrely, Holland overtook Spain in the FIFA World rankings earlier this week and are now rated as the best team in the world.

Looking to extend their 100% record in Group E, Holland face San Marino in Eindhoven on September 2 before travelling to Finland on September 6.

Heitinga will hope to add to his impressive 66 international caps. The full squad is as follows:

Maarten Stekelenburg, Michel Vorm, Tim Krul, Joris Mathijsen, John Heitinga, Erik Pieters, Hedwiges Maduro, Edson Braafheid, Jeffrey Bruma, Khalid Boulahrouz, Gregory van der Wiel, Wesley Sneijder, Nigel de Jong, Kevin Strootman, Mark van Bommel, Rafael van der Vaart, Eljero Elia, Klaas Jan Huntelaar, Dirk Kuyt, Luuk de Jong, Robin van Persie, Georginio Wijnaldum, Jeremain Lens.
