Robben’s much anticipated return to his home town club FC Groningen has proven a disappointment as he has played just 44 minutes in two appearances in the Dutch league this season.
He has struggled with hamstring problems and now has a calf injury.
“It is not yet going as I would like,” he told his club’s website (fcgroningen.nl).
“We have worked hard in recent months, but unfortunately without the desired result. I will use the rest of the year to recover and would really like to be on the field with the team in the New Year and play matches"
