Robben to miss Euro 2012 qualifiers

Arjen Robben has left the Dutch training camp in Noordwijk on Thursday. The Bayern Munich forward is suffering from a pubic bone injury and medical examination made clear on Wednesday he will miss the forthcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers against Moldova on Friday and Sweden on Tuesday. As a substitute Robben did play in last weekend's match of Bayern against Hoffenheim (0-0). Earlier this week it already became clear that the winger was not able to play against Moldova. "I'm worried," he said about his injury. "It's definitely not good," Robben added. "It is particularly annoying that I do not know exactly when it's over. It's a complicated injury. There is nobody who can say exactly what I have to do. Even rest does not help. This makes it very annoying." The Netherlands already qualified for Euro 2012 and coach Bert van Marwijk saw a number of internationals withdraw due to injuries. Wesley Sneijder, Johnny Heitinga, Ibrahim Afellay, Maarten Stekelenburg and Hedwiges Maduro will also not play in the final matches in Group E. Van Marwijk also had some good news about the physical state of one player, Mark van Bommel. The captain has recovered from a knee injury.
