This is when we will find out more about Verbruggen from Holland boss

Brighton and Hove Albion FC Football Sport

Bart Verbruggen’s immediate World Cup future will become clearer as Holland get back to work today.

The Oranje squad arrived at their base in Kansas City on Thursday, hours after Verbruggen suffered an injury in their final friendly.

The Albion No.1 went down heavily and needed attention early in the second half of a game with Uzbekistan.

He continued initially but then went to ground a second time and was replaced amid concern over a hip injury.

Head coach Ronald Koeman could offer nothing more than a “wait and see” response when asked about his first-choice goalkeeper soon after the game.

Verbruggen looked to be relaxed and moving quite freely when Holland arrived in Kansas City.

Koeman cancelled a training session which had been scheduled for Tuesday evening as players headed straight to their hotel.

However they will train on Wednesday afternoon UK time in front of 1,000 local residents.

The relevance for Albion is that Verbruggen is likely to be subject of transfer interest this summer and that will only increase if he has a good World Cup.

Koeman and Virgil van Dijk will then hold a press conference as focus turns to Sunday's match against Japan in Dallas.

Jan Paul van Hecke looks a certain starter in that one and Mats Wieffer could be pushing for a role, even if it is coming off the bench.
