Netherlands goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is set to shake off a calf injury in time to line up against Ivory Coast in Stuttgart on Friday.

The veteran shot-stopper suffered the injury during the Oranje's Group C victory against Serbia & Montenegro last weekend and sat out training on Tuesday.

However, Netherlands coach Marco van Basten said: "Edwin will be fit for Friday's game. He does have a problem with his calf but it is very minor.

"He has had some treatment but it is not a big issue and I am sure he will be available."

The Manchester United goalkeeper is van Basten's only injury worry ahead of the meeting with the Elephants, who lost their World Cup opener against Argentina.
