Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes insists http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 will be vital for the club in Europe
Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes has claimed that Arjen Robben will be vital in the club’s campaign in the UEFA Champions League this season. The winger has been out with a groin injury and is expected to return in a week’s
time.
Die Bayern have been put in the same group as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Villarreal-CF-c40899 and Manchester City and it is already being called the ‘Group of Death’. The Bavarian giants qualified for the group stages after defeated FC Zurich in the play-off
round with a 3-0 aggregate.
Heynckes insisted that Robben’s return is very important for Bayern as he is an integral part of the squad. He stated that the Dutchman is capable of changing the game alone and his performances in Europe this season will be vital
for the club.
The former Bayer Leverkusen manager also praised Thomas Muller for his sensational performance against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Austria-c2844 last Friday as Germany defeated the opposition 6-2 to qualify for the European Championships next year.
"A fully-fit Arjen is capable of settling a game by himself. Naturally, we need him, especially in the difficult Champions League fixtures. However, every player at Bayern is important, because we’re a very ambitious club. Take
Thomas Muller for example, who turned in a world-class performance for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 against Austria,” he was quoted as saying.
The former Borussia Monchengladbach player admitted that Robben is recovering well after the injury and could well return before the club’s first Champions League fixture against Villarreal next week.
The manager remained hopeful to have a strong squad against the Yellow Submarine as every fixture is of vital importance and the team cannot afford to make any mistakes if it has to qualify for the knock-out stages of Europe’s
premier club competition.
“He’s in much better physical shape now. We'll have to wait and see what happens with the pelvic inflammation which is causing the problem,” he concluded.
The Munich giants will next face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 for the first Champions League clash against Villarreal.
