Holland coach Bert van Marwijk will treat Arjen Robben with caution ahead of Monday's last-16 clash with Slovakia after the winger made his first appearance in the World Cup.
Bayern Munich's Robben had been sidelined with a hamstring problem but came on as a substitute in Cape Town on Thursday night and hit the post to set up Klaas Jan Huntelaar's winner in his side's 2-1 win over Cameroon in their Group E dead rubber.
Van Marwijk said: "The idea is to build him up slowly and gradually. I'm really pleased he was able to play for 20 minutes and nothing happened, he didn't get injured."
