Dutch beat Hungary but Robben limps off

Arjen Robben, the Holland wide man, will be taken to hospital for a scan on his hamstring tomorrow after picking up the injury during the 6-1 win against Hungary today.

Dutch coach, Bert van Marwijk, admitted he is concerned about Robben but will not consider calling up a stand-in until they can fully determine the extent of the injury.

"He made an unnatural move and then sustained the hamstring injury," Van Marwijk told the press. "He will not join us tonight on our way to South Africa as he will undergo a scan tomorrow as it was no use to do it now."

"My first thought was this can't be true, the end the final warm-up match, everyone is fit and then this," he added.

"We now have to wait. I can replace Robben until 24 hours before our opening match but as long as there is hope he recovers in time he will stay in the squad."

"I would rather lose this match and have Arjen stay fit. He felt a sharp pain. That does not bode well. But I do not lose hope."

Robben was a second half substitue and he also scored twice, with Robin van Persie, Wesley Sneijder, Mark van Bommel and Eljero Elia scoring the others.
