The Liverpool striker was left out of the 21 man squad for Holland's friendly against Croatia tomorrow after a dismal season for the Reds that has seen him fail to score in the past twelve games. The omission was a blow to Kuyt.
"I need some time to get over this blow. I am extremely disappointed to have been dropped from the squad," he said.
"I featured in 39 out of the 42 previous internationals for my country."
