ROBIN van Persie and Mario Melchiot trained in isolation as Holland's official preparations for Euro 2008 entered their second day on Wednesday.
Wigan defender Melchiot was restricted to ball work as he bids to recover from a groin injury while Arsenal striker Van Persie, coming off a season blighted by knee, thigh and ankle niggles, concentrated on low-stress walking exercises.
Blackburn defender Andre Ooijer, who has been carrying a slight knock, trained with the rest of the squad as normal.
Holland coach Marco van Basten will see his ranks swelled when Edwin van der Sar, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben join up with the Oranje later in the week.
Van Basten hopes to have a full squad at his disposal for Saturday's friendly against Ukraine in Rotterdam.
Van Basten's final 23-man squad will be announced by May 28 at the latest, with further friendlies against Denmark and Wales to follow.
Holland, the 1988 European champions, have been drawn alongside Italy, France and Romania in Euro 2008 Group C.
