Robben suffers athletic Pubalgia

Flying dutchman is out again, this time he picked up a groin injury, he will be out for an indeterminate period of time.

Groin injuries are famous to kill speedsters careers, is this the end for Robben?

smh...Bayern is in trouble again

Wtf Robben, it's not even funny now.

He didn't even play last night

Source? He wasn't played yesterday simply because of rotation.

Here is the source on L'Equipe

Toni Kroos will be happy to hear this

if it was true it would be in the german media already. latest news from this morning were that he is ready for the game on the weekend. the frenchmen can write what they want...

WTF. I think this is complete bullshit. Robben was on the bench for Bayern & Heyneckes said if there was an emergency situation Robben will be fielded. Heyneckes confirmed Robben is likely to play this saturday in the bundesliga.

Besides even with some sort of a minor groin injury he gave a BEST in the world performance against hamnburg like he always does,specially in Big match situations.

ok, you kids come back posting here when you traditional news medias wake up and pick up on the news.

one of the greatest made of glass talents...
sad really

L'Equipe is usually solid, but that's just weird. Even the German guys haven't heard a thing.

Robben was benched simply because of rotation (another thing I love about Heynckes).

Maybe they saw him on the bench and "lolz! glass man injured again!".

Or maybe because Ribéry was bossing so much yesterday when in the NT he doesn't perform.

yea, as the french media is world famous for their up-to-date background knowledge, especially concerning the german bundesliga. let's wait a few hours and see...

in reference to the bayern website it says that they are takin it day-by-day with his complaints. he's getting "intensive care" and the match on the weekend is not out of sight but also not guarentee'd.

seems like nothing serious.

Gomez and Robben set to play on Saturday.

Only Zürich keeper Johnny Leoni prevented Mario Gomez scoring a second goal for Bayern just before half-time on Tuesday, as the FCB striker left marker Heinz Barmettler for dead and fired goalwards. However, the keeper’s fine save was less painful for Gomez than the minor injury he sustained in the incident: immediately after the shot, the player clutched his right hamstring, and he was replaced by Nils Petersen at half-time.

“It was purely precautionary," Christian Nerlinger explained afterwards, and the striker himself, who scored the early winner against the Swiss runners-up, issued a reassuring statement before leaving the stadium. “It was just a little tight," he reported, “I guess something’s trapped, the nerve maybe. I think I'll be fine for Saturday." Coach Jupp Heynckes confirmed the initial diagnosis: “I reckon he'll be fit to play on Saturday."

The coach said the same thing about Arjen Robben, who started on the bench in Zürich due to a reaction to an earlier back problem. “If we'd needed him to play at all costs, I'd have picked him," Heynckes revealed. However, the match situation meant Robben was not required. “It was smart to give him a rest," the boss stated, “I think he'll be able to start on Saturday." Bayern travel to face Kaiserslautern in the Bundesliga this weekend.

L'equipe got it wrong this time Sh!t happens from time to time, nick, just like the Aguero to RM campaign
I read the most up to date source in German, he's got pubic bone inflammation, nothing to do with groin L'equipe got even the diagnosis wrong

other than that, if a topic is opened everytime robben has little aches and pains then we wouldn't talk about anything else anymore.

But seriously how can a normal person get injured so often so easily....Im just curious.....My 90 year old great grandmother wouldn't get as much injured as Robben does playing football.

There must something tilted in the genes of Dutch people. All their player seem like their made of glass.

I have got a much better news for you.

Bayern Munich will sign a new striker

That is a very bad injury if true. Kaka' had that and never really recovered.

Robben gets injured sitting on the bench too

Anyway hope he's not actually injured for the sake of his bloody career. I mean c'mon, has any player rivaled him in terms of injuries? They should name a new trophy after him.

Van Persie and Frank Ribery.

Well let's see, since I couldn't find the exact number of times all players got injured I will see how many game they each played in each season. I think the average number is about 50 games [38 league game, 8 CL games, 4 Cup games].

I'll start from 2004 [Out of a possible 350 matches]*:

Robben- Missed 193 games [played 157 out of 350]
Ribery- Missed 156 games [played 194 out of 350]
V. Persie- Missed 192 games [played 158 out of 350]

**Drum Rolls**

And the winner of the Glass Man trophy by a margin of 1 single game is...

Arjen Robben
