Manchester City's Nigel de Jong has been dropped from the Holland squad after his 'wild' tackle left Hatem Ben Arfa with a broken leg. The midfielder has been axed by coach Bert van Marwijk for the forthcoming Euro 2012 Group E qualifiers against Moldova and Sweden. Van Marwijk's decision comes after De Jong's tackle on Ben Arfa in City's 2-1 win at Eastlands on Sunday left the Newcastle player with a broken tibia and fibula in his left leg. In a statement of the Dutch FA's official website, van Marwijk said on Monday: "I just informed the squad and told them I saw no other possibility. "In the near future I will discuss this matter with Nigel (de Jong) but right now we have to focus on the upcoming two matches." Earlier, the Dutch coach hit out at the tackle, branding it both 'wild' and 'unnecessary'.
