Dutch midfielder Kevin Strootman will miss the World Cup in Brazil in June after tearing cartilage in his left knee.<\/p>\n

“I can just imagine how disappointed he must be,” coach Louis van Gaal told Dutch media after Strootman was injured in AS Roma’s 1-0 defeat at Napoli in Serie A on Sunday. “Kevin was in good form.<\/p>\n

“For the national side it is a huge blow. Kevin made a huge contribution to our qualification for the World Cup, he never let us down and now his dreams have died.”<\/p>\n

Strootman will be sidelined for at least six months, according to Dutch media. He tried to play on after sustaining the injury but was eventually carried off on a stretcher.<\/p>\n

The midfielder was also taken off before halftime in Wednesday’s 2-0 friendly international defeat by France in Paris after hurting his right knee.<\/p>\n

Last year Van Gaal said Strootman, captain Robin van Persie and winger Arjen Robben were three players guaranteed a place in his World Cup squad.<\/p>\n

The Dutch have been drawn in Group B with champions Spain, Australia and Chile at the finals.<\/p>\n
