Football: Robben’s injury woes continue

BERLIN: Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben, who had only just returned from a five-week injury lay-off, underwent groin surgery yesterday and will be out for 10 days. The club revealed that the 27-year-old Dutchman had seen Bayern’s team doctor after pulling out of the Dutch squad for the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Moldova and Sweden, and that the groin surgery was necessary due to inflammation. Robben has been plagued by injuries since the 2010 World Cup final.
