The KNVB (Dutch FA) had a slight technical hitchfor their upcoming games against Iceland and Norway in the World Cup qualifiers, no goalkeeper available. I guess they didn't fancy the prospect of Klaas Van Huntelaar or Ruud van Nistelrooy guarding their goal. So they approached Edwin van der Sar who quit international football after last summers European Championships in Austria/Switzerland.
The new number one choice Maarten Stekelenburg has picked up a shoulder injury which has left coach Bert van Marwijk with few options. Now van der Saar has agreed to come back for the qualifiers against Iceland and Norway. Utrecht goalkeeper Michael Vorm has also been called up with Henk Timmer of Feyenoord also a doubt - meaning van der Sar is likely to play and add to his 128 cap tally.
Along with Vorm, PSV Eindhoven's Dirk Marcellis has also received his first call-up to the senior set-up. Along with van der Sar there are a further five British-based players included in the shape of Andre Ooijer, Ryan Babel, Dirk Kuyt, Robin van Persie and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink.
