Robben Returns To Action Against Arsenal

1 Min Read

This will certainly not be so much of good news to Arsenal fans as diminutive winger, Arjen Robben is expected to return to action in this week’s Champions League clash against Arsenal though coach Pep Guardiola has stressed the Bundesliga champions will not take any unnecessary risks with the player.

The Netherlands international has been out of action since picking up an adductor injury in the Euro 2016 qualifier against Iceland on September 3.

He recently resumed squad training, though, and was expected to make his comeback in Saturday’s away game against Werder Bremen.

Nevertheless, Guardiola has opted not to include the 31-year-old in his match squad as he does not want to take any risks with the winger.

“There are no problems with Robben, but he is not 100 per cent fit yet,” the Bayern coach said.

Robben himself, meanwhile, has suggested that he could return to the pitch in Tuesday’s Champions League encounter with Arsenal.
