Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has been ruled out of The Netherland's UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier against Sweden next week because of a groin injury.

The 27-year-old was already set to miss tomorrow's Group E game against Moldova, but coach Bert van Marwijk had held out some hope he might be fit by Tuesday.

But a statement on www.onsoranje.nl read: "Further medical examination on Wednesday revealed that Arjen Robben is not available for Oranje's last European Championship qualifier against Sweden." The Netherlands have already qualified for next year's tournament in Poland and Ukraine.
