Robben admits he may never return

Dutch international Arjen Robben has announced that he will be out injured until at least January 2021 after a pair of injuries and has admitted that his career may have ended.

"I will continue to work on my recovery and would like to be on the pitch with the team playing matches next year, but I cannot yet guarantee that this will happen," said Robben, who will turn 37 in January, in a statement from Groningen.

"Things are not going the way I would like them to," acknowledged the former Madrid player, who explained that the recovery procedures "unfortunately are not having the expected results".
