Robben, Sneijder fight injuries in World Cup practice

The Dutch national team trained intensively over the weekend following their arrival in Brazil. The training camp experienced a few set backs though, as both Wesley Sneijder and later Arjen Robben had trouble moving after brief injuries on field. Both players were able to resume training when their injuries were assessed as being minor. Robben was laid out twice on the pitch after tangles with his Bayern Munich teammate, defender Bruno Martins Indi. The two stars reportedly had difficulties seeing eye-to-eye during the remainder of the training. Robben grabbed his back and looked irritated, but ultimately he had no problems completing the training session. "Arjen is good at dribbling and I thought he fell unjustly," Martins Indi said later." We had a bit of stubbornness and irritation. How this story will end? I have no idea; I have not yet seen Arjen, as I am sitting here now [giving interviews]," he joked. "We will just leave it as it is."
