Tottenham 'keeper Michel Vorm has been added to the Netherlands squad for their friendly against England at Wembley on Tuesday.

Vorm, whose only Premier League appearance of the season came on the opening day at Manchester United, replaces Ajax No 1 Jasper Cillessen, who has been ruled out because of a broken nose.

Cillessen sustained the injury in a training ground collision with team-mate Klaas Jan Huntelaar on Sunday, when the striker appeared to kick him in the face as he stretched to reach the ball.

Vorm is likely to be on the bench against England, with either Kenneth Vermeer of Feyenoord or PSV's Jeroen Zoet replacing Cillessen.
