Heitinga To Face England

Everton defender John Heitinga is in line to face England in the Wembley friendly on August 10th after being named in Bert van Marwijk's Dutch squad.

The game is part of a full schedule of international friendlies that will take place just days before the new Premier League season, a fact that has angered many club managers and even England boss Fabio Capello.

Heitinga will be hoping to line up against clubmates Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines, who may be selected in the England squad. The full Netherlands squad is as follows:

Tim Krul (Newcastle United), Maarten Stekelenburg (Ajax), Michel Vorm (FC Utrecht), Khalid Boulahrouz (Stuttgart), Edson Braafheid (Hoffenheim), Jeffrey Bruma (Hamburg), John Heitinga (Everton), Joris Mathijsen (Malaga), Erik Pieters (PSV Eindhoven), Ron Vlaar (Feyenoord), Gregory van der Wiel (Ajax), Ibrahim Afellay (Barcelona), Mark van Bommel (AC Milan), Theo Janssen (Ajax), Nigel de Jong (Manchester City), Hedwiges Maduro (Valencia), Stijn Schaars (Sporting Lisbon), Wesley Sneijder (Inter Milan), Kevin Strootman (PSV Eindhoven), Rafael van der Vaart (Tottenham Hotspur), Eljero Elia (Hamburg), Klaas Jan Huntelaar (Schalke), Luuk de Jong (FC Twente), Dirk Kuyt (Liverpool), Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich).
