Elia is only out for a few weeks. He had a terrific start in Germany and immediately got the nickname ''Die FlankenGott'' = God of the Wings.
Since the winter break he had a slight dip in performances and had a couple of injuries but hopefully he will be back to his cracking best at the World Cup. He will probably start as a sub since Holland's frontline will be playing with Van Persie as a lone striker with Robben, Sneijder and Van der Vaart behind him.
