Bayern Munich lose Robben to injury

Xinhua, March 23, 2015 Adjust font size:

Bayern Munich's forward Arjen Robben will be sidelined for a few weeks due to an injury, the German record champions confirmed the injury on Sunday.

Bayern did not only suffer their second defeat of the season but they also lost their key player Arjen Robben, who ruptured his abdominal muscle during the clash against Monchengladbach.

According to club doctor Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt, Robben will be out of action for a couple of weeks.

"It wasn't a pleasant evening for us, but what is even more unpleasant is the fact that Arjen is injured. This is at least as bad as the defeat," Bayern's CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.

Bayern Munich remain on top of the Bundesliga standings with a 10-point advantage over second placed Wolfsburg. Endi
