Well done Holland thug de Jong dropped
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/9058532.stm
Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong has been dropped from the Netherlands squad for next week's international matches.
De Jong was involved in a tackle which broke the leg of Newcastle's Hatem Ben Arfa during Sunday's Premier League game at Eastlands.
Tests later revealed Ben Arfa had suffered a broken tibia and fibula to his left leg.
De Jong will miss the Netherlands' games against Moldova and Sweden.
Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk revealed the news on the Dutch FA website.
"I just informed the squad and told him I saw no other possibility," he said.
"In the near future I will discuss this matter with Nigel but right now we have to focus on the upcoming two matches."
It is not the first time the 25-year-old De Jong has been in the spotlight for aggressive tackles.
Bolton's United States midfielder Stuart Holden suffered a fractured right fibula on international duty in March after a challenge from De Jong.
Then in the World Cup final he was fortunate to receive only a yellow card after planting his studs into the chest of Spain's Xabi Alonso.
