Robben to miss Euro 2008 opener

Holland's talented midfielder Arjen Robben is believed to be set to miss out on the Netherlands' crucial opening match with Italy in the Euro 2008 tournament.

Robben has had a superb season for his club Real Madrid and is desperate to transfer this form to the European tournament.

However, his hopes of doing so took a massive dent after he sustained an injury in Holland's final training session.

Robben seriously injured his groin and is expected to miss the opening game and perhaps their second.
