World Cup 2010: Netherlands - Denmark Official Line-Ups: Nicklas Bendtner To Start For Danish Dynamite After All

Nicklas Bendtner will start for Denmark after all...

By Stefan Coerts

Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk has made the decision to give Real Madrid star Rafael van der Vaart the nod on the left wing to replace Arjen Robben, who is not yet fully match fit. The Dutch don't have any other injury concerns and will start in their usual 4-2-3-1 formation.

Starting Line-up: Stekelenburg, Van der Wiel, Heitinga, Mathijsen, Van Bronckhorst; Van Bommel, De Jong; Kuyt, Sneijder, Van der Vaart; Van Persie

Denmark coach Morten Olsen declared at the weekend that star attacker Nicklas Bendtner wouldn't be match fit in time for the clash against Netherlands, but the Arsenal striker will play after all. Patrick Mtiliga won't play due to injury and will be replaced by Simon Poulsen. Young midfielder Thomas Enevoldsen has also been somewhat surprisingly included in the starting XI.

Starting Line-up: Sorensen; L. Jacobsen, Kjaer, Agger, S. Poulsen; Kahlenberg, C. Poulsen, Enevoldsen; Rommedahl, Bendtner, Jorgensen
