Bayern Munich Winger Arjen Robben Nearing Top Form & Fitness
Robben's recovery from an operation is going well, but the Dutchman has conceded that he is not at his very best just yet...
Bayern Munich may be struggling at present, but winger Arjen Robben proved on Wednesday evening against Girondins de Bordeaux that he is recovering well from knee surgery.
The 25-year-old’s introduction from the bench had an immediate impact on his side’s goalscoring potential, though they would eventually lose 2-0 to the French champions in a vital Champions League encounter.
“You can always add fresh impetus when you have Robben as a weapon in reserve,” general manager Uli Hoeness told reporters in advance of the midweek encounter.
Meanwhile, Robben told the club's official website, “It’s still a tough situation for me. I’m still not fully fit. I need more training and more time. However, I know the club’s in a difficult situation and I want to help the team."
A report on the Bayern website suggests the former Real Madrid star will return to the starting XI on Saturday, when FCB meet Schalke 04.
