CAPE TOWN, July 7 Netherlands midfielder Demy de Zeeuw was taken to hospital with a suspected broken jaw after their World Cup semi-final win over Uruguay on Tuesday.
However, an examination showed only loose teeth and he was able to return shortly afterwards to join the rest of the celebrating Dutch squad, a team spokeswoman said.
De Zeeuw got an accidental kick in the jaw from Uruguay's left back Martin Caceres just before the half-hour mark leading to the Dutchman's substitution at the break.
The spokeswoman added that De Zeeuw had briefly been knocked out by the blow but there was no lasting damage.—Reuters
