ROBBEN LOOKS FORWARD

Arjen Robben has said that his return from injury would not solve Bayern Munich's problems. The Dutch winger stresses that he's been sidelined for quite a while and that he needs time to find his best form.

"I know that people expect Bayern Munich to mount a serious title challenge again once I return and I do want to be playing an important role for the team as soon as possible," Robben told the club's official website.

"However, let’s bear in mind I’ve not played for six months. It won’t simply be the case that everything’s fine again just because I’m on the field. It's just not as easy as that."

Bayern have been linked with bids for Eduardo and Yuri Zhirkov in the January transfer window.
