Who’s in the running to earn promotion from League Two this season? Tom Powell previews the betting.

Dutch forward Arjen Robben will miss the opening weeks of the new season because of a thigh injury, his club Bayern Munich has confirmed.

Club doctor Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt told Bayern’s web site said the injury had shown up during a routine pre-season check-up and he could be out of action for up to two months.

“This diagnosis is naturally a shock,” said Robben, who was a member of the Holland side that reached the World Cup final last month.

Robben helped Bayern win the Bundesliga and Cup double in his first season with the club and they also reached the Champions League final.
