Injured Robben set to miss crucial Madrid clash

Published on

Bayern Munich travel to Real Madrid chasing a 2-1 deficit in the Champions League and they will be without Arjen Robben.

Robben lasted just eight minutes in the first leg last week before being forced off with the injury, subsequently missing Saturday’s 4-1 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Dutchman had been able to train over the weekend, but the fact he did so alone on Sunday suggested Tuesday’s outing was going to come too soon for him.

And sure enough, Robben’s name was not included in Bayern’s squad list announced on Monday.

However, Javi Martinez and David Alaba are travelling, having struggled with their own injury problems of late.
