Danish omission leaves Huntelaar fuming

05 June 2012 16:46

Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar on Tuesday said he was both disappointed and angry that he would not start up front in their group game with Denmark on Saturday.

The 28-year-old - the leading scorer in the Bundesliga last season with 29 goals for Schalke 04 and also in the Euro qualifiers with 12 in 10 games - had been told, after the final training session last Friday before flying here, Robin van Persie would start.

"I already said that I am disappointed and angry," said Huntelaar.

"Now I prefer to shut up and to continue to train hard. It would make no sense to say anything more."
