Arjen Robben: How Bayern Munich could line-up against Liverpool in the Champions League without the Dutchman
Bayern Munich are set to be without Arjen Robben for their round of 16 Champions League clash with Liverpool on February 19.
The Dutch winger has been suffering with a thigh injury since November but it seems the problem hasn’t fully cleared up, despite the player returning to training a week ago as a sciatic nerve issue makes things trickier.
“It’s not going well,” Robben said in an interview with Bild. “We’re trying everything, but nothing’s working out at the moment.
“Unfortunately, it’s one of those where you don’t know the exact problem. It’s difficult, and very frustrating.
“I was pretty close to making my comeback twice before, I was back with the team, but then there were more setbacks. It’s not easy mentally.”
The problem should make Jurgen Klopp’s life a little easier as it decreases the options of rival manager Niko Kovac for the clash at Anfield on Tuesday.
