The coach said that Robben would undergo tests at a Dutch hospital as the star winger sustained "a tear to the left thigh".
Robben hurt himself while attempting a backheel three minutes from the end of the match and had to limp off.
The Bayern Munich winger had missed the Netherlands' two previous warm-up matches, against Mexico and Ghana, due to a hip problem.
The Netherlands begin their World Cup campaign against Denmark on June 14 before tackling Japan on June 19 and Cameroon on June 24.
