Boost for Bayern as Robben returns to training

The Dutchman has been out of action since last season with muscular problems but is now set to be fit for the start of the new season

Arjen Robben gave Bayern Munich a welcome boost ahead of this weekend’s DFL-Supercup showdown with Wolfsburg after returning to training on Monday.

The Netherlands forward missed the conclusion of the 2014-15 campaign with a muscular injury and has yet to feature in any of his club’s pre-season fixtures.

Indeed, Robben skipped Bayern’s tour of Asia in order to continue his rehabilitation in Germany and is now poised to make his eagerly-awaited comeback.

“I was able to work well and do exactly as planned,” the Dutchman told his club’s official website. “It was a really good session. I am very happy.”

There was further good news for the Bundesliga champions as defenders Dante and Medhi Benatia were joined by Javi Martinez in tailored recovery away from the first-team squad.

All three are expected to be fit for the start of Bayern’s title defence against Hamburg on August 14.
