Fer already left the Dutch camp Saturday because of a knee injury, which he suffered in the match against Turkey.
The midfielder of FC Twente will be out for two to six weeks. Adam Maher of AZ Alkmaar has been called as his replacement.
The Netherlands won its first 2014 World Cup qualification match against Turkey 2-0 Friday. They will meet Hungary in their second encounter Tuesday.
