Bayern Munich’s Jupp Heynckes hoping to have Arjen Robben back in training – Bundesliga news
Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes has revealed that he hopes to have http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 back in training ahead of the club’s upcoming crucial fixtures. The Bavarians made a poor start to their 2011/12 campaign, losing out to Borussia Monchengladbach in their
opening game at Allianz Arena.
The following week, only a late solitary goal was the difference between them and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 which earned them the opening win. The Bavarians also had to go through play-offs in order to qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stages.
Heynckes wishes to have Robben back in his ranks as Bayern prepares themselves for tougher challenges. Robben, who is certain to miss the club’s next league game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Freiburg-c40462 on Saturday, is expected back in action against Villarreal. The Bavarian
giants will travel away to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 to take on the Yellow Submarine in the first leg of their Champions League tie on September 14, and Robben’s services will desperately be needed by the club.
The manager is hoping that the Dutchman maintains his fitness for future events as Die Roten are set to host Manchester City on September 27 in their next Champions League encounter. Heynckes regards Robben as the most valuable player of his squad and has
urged the medical staff to pay special attention to the player’s fitness.
While talking to the reporters, the former Bayer Leverkusen boss added, "He's better. He had almost no complaints. It is important that he gets well again, especially with important games coming up in the Champions League. He knows that with the help of
the medical department he can play 80 or 90 per cent of our games."
The 27-year-old winger joined Bayern Munich from Real Madrid in 2009 and has 29 league goals under his belt so far from 40 appearances. The player made his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 debut in 2003 and has 15 goals to his name so far from 53 international caps.
Robben’s current contract with the club is set to expire at the end of this season but the player is likely to sign a new contract.
