Netherlands defender
Joris Mathijsen returned to full training on Sunday to put
himself in contention for a recall for their second Euro 2012
Group B match against Germany.
The centre-back is recovering from a hamstring strain and
was replaced by Ron Vlaar for Saturday's opening 1-0 defeat by
Denmark but could now feature in Wednesday's key game.
Striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar was eager to impress during
training as he tries to force his way into a faltering forward
line when the Dutch meet old foes Germany.
The Schalke 04 front-man is hoping to dislodge Ibrahim
Afellay from the starting line-up and take centre stage with
Robin van Persie possibly switching to the left after looking
below his brilliant best against the Danes.
