Arjen Robben's injury is not looking good

Dutch captain Giovanni van Bronckhorst fears Arjen Robben's injury is serious. The Dutch star got injured in the last minutes of the friendly against Hungary (6-1). The hamstring injury looks serious at first glance said Van Bronckhorst. "He couldn't even walk properly. It's not looking good," he said on SBS.

"Everyone saw it was bad. The atmosphere was good up until then. But such moments can spoil that."

Dirk Kuyt also reacted with great concern. "It was all going so well, too good to be true almost. I was in the dressing room and saw it happen on the television. He made a very unnatural movement with that backheel, and put a lot of strain on that hamstring."

Kuyt was with Robben in the dressing room. "He's in a lot of pain, but you can never tell from just that. Tests will have to clear things up. This is such a loss to the team. It feels like losing a game."
