The "Bayern" star will miss two of his club's matches in the Champions League against "Olympiakos" and Zagreb's "Dinamo", as well as important Bundesliga matches against last season's vice champions "Wolfsburg" and crucial Netherlands national team European Championship qualifying matches against Turkey. Meanwhile, Arjen Robben's participation in the October 4 match against Dortmund's "Borussia" now looks doubtful. In the national team, Jeremain Lens, newcomer to "Sunderland", will replace Arjen Robben. "I was in very good form, but after a few hits to the back, I felt the pain move to my calf, so I couldn't continue playing," Robben told NOS last night. "I will now return to Munich and will not play against Turkey."
