Netherlands, Uruguay seek cover for lineup gaps

The Netherlands and Uruguay must fill injury and suspension gaps in their lineups for Tuesday's World Cup semifinal.

Uruguay will be without striker Luis Suarez who is suspended after his deliberate handball prevented a Ghana winner in their quarterfinal.

Full back Jorge Fucile also is suspended after picking up a second yellow card against Ghana, while central defender Diego Godin missed that game with a left thigh problem and remains in doubt. Captain Diego Lugano also is fighting to be fit after injuring a right knee ligament.

The Dutch will be missing right back Gregory van der Wiel and defensive midfielder Nigel de Jong, both suspended.
