Oranje left sweating on Robben

Netherlands star Arjen Robben has emerged as a major World Cup doubt after limping out of a warm-up game with a suspected hamstring problem.

The injury-plagued winger fell to the ground clutching the back of his leg during the second half of Saturday's 6-1 thrashing of Hungary in Amsterdam.

The Bayern Munich wideman was a half-time substitute in the friendly but failed to see out the game.

He was helped to his feet before gingerly walking off the Amsterdam Arena pitch with help from the team's medical staff.

Coach Bert van Marwijk has confirmed that Robben will undergo scans in Amsterdam on Sunday rather than travel out to South Africa with his international team-mates.

"I would rather lose this match and have Arjen stay fit," said van Marwijk at full-time.

"He felt a sharp pain. That does not bode well. But I do not lose hope."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
