THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) " After a year blighted by injury, Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben was recalled to the Netherlands squad Friday for a World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg. Coach Danny Blind said that after talks with Bayern, the injury-prone Robben will be in the squad for the Nov. 13 Group A game in Luxembourg. The return of Robben is a boost for the Netherlands, which has struggled in his absences in recent years, including failing to qualify for the European Championship in France. The Netherlands is third in Group A after three matches, three points behind Sweden and France, which play each other on Nov. 11. Forwards: Bas Dost (Sporting Lisbon), Vincent Janssen (Tottenham Hotspur), Luuk de Jong (PSV), Memphis Depay (Manchester United), Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich), Jeremain Lens (Fenerbahce), Quincy Promes (Spartak Moscow).
