Fresh Robben eyes impact

Netherlands star Arjen Robben is confident of making an impact at Euro 2008 following an injury-plagued season.
The 24-year-old winger started just 14 La Liga games for Real Madrid following a £24million transfer from Chelsea last summer.
However, he believes a comparative lack of action this year has left him fresh and raring to go during his country's Euro 2008 campaign.
"I feel very strong and fit now," said Robben. "I have been out of international football because of injuries for far too long.
"I am delighted to be back with the squad after more than six months.
"We have put in some good performances, we have shown good things and we have improved where necessary, so we are on the right track.
"Obviously Italy are a very strong nation and, as a team, they are always very well-organised.
"But they are not the only strong side at Euro 2008 and everyone is here to win the title."
