Robben returns to his hell

Arjen Robben's return to football with Groningen has been just as tough on injury as his previous career was. There have already been several matches that he has missed due to muscular problems or in which he has not been able to play the 90 minutes for this reason. Tired of his body not responding to him, the former Real Madrid and Bayern player has decided to stop until December to get physically in tune and not notice discomfort of any kind.

The left-handed winger has made this decision after consulting with the club's coaching staff and doctors. Despite his attempts to be in the last games against Fortuna Sittard and VVV-Venlo, the discomfort did not subside and for that reason he has decided to give himself a greater margin of time to recover. Robben will carry out an individual and tailored training program. No deadline has been set for the return, but the attacker is known to not be before December.

“For the coach and for my teammates it is not pleasant to be talked about almost every week while I am away. The team is doing very well at the moment and the guys with their current performance deserve the attention and praise for this.“Said Robben on the club's official website.

And he concluded: “I am not going to deny that this situation is a bit disappointing. I was hoping to have participated in more games, but after a few minor aches and pains the reality is that it hasn't. These are the potholes that we said all along would come. It's not strange, but it's a setback. It is not illogical either: I have been unemployed for a year, I have a certain age and a history of injuries ”.
