Soccer-Real winger Robben likely to miss Roma clash

MADRID, March 1 (Reuters) - Winger Arjen Robben is almost certain to miss Real Madrid's Champions League second leg against AS Roma in midweek after twisting his ankle in Saturday's 3-2 win at Recreativo Huelva.

Real also said on their Web site (www.realmadrid.com) that Robben's fellow Dutchman Royston Drenthe had bruised his thigh.

On the plus side, Robinho and Pepe made a successful return from injury for the nine-times European champions.

Robinho scored twice after coming on as a second-half substitute while centre back Pepe came through unscathed after a brief appearance late in the game.

Real, who lost 2-1 in the first knockout round first leg, host Roma on Wednesday. (Reporting by Simon Baskett, Editing by Tony Jimenez)
