Arjen Robben's career continues to be plagued by injuries.
A day after the 31-year-old winger was forced to exit the pitch only 31 minutes into the Netherlands' 1-0 home defeat to Iceland, it was announced by Bayern Munich that he suffered a muscle injury in his left adductor and will be out for four weeks.

The update adds to Robben's lengthy list of injuries that have severely limited his playing time at Bayern since he joined the club six years ago. Last season, for example, a number of problems, such as an abdominal tear suffered near the end of the campaign, resulted in the Dutchman making only 21 Bundesliga appearances.

It's at the international level, however, where Robben's injury will be most felt.
With three fixtures remaining, the Netherlands sit third in Group A in Euro 2016 qualifying, meaning it'll need to book its place at the competition via a play-off. Robben will be unavailable for Sunday's match at Turkey, which trails the Oranje by one point.
