Robben out for 6 weeks
Print Edition
Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben will be out of action for about six weeks after injuring his right knee in a German Cup match, the club said yesterday.
Robben was taken off the field on a stretcher after he was hurt in a tackle during the first half of WednesdayÆs 2-0 victory at Augsburg. ôI was in such a good shape, I was looking forward to every game and now this,ö Robben said.
Robben had a deep laceration, club doctor Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt said after the Netherlands winger was examined at an Augsburg hospital.
Sporting director Matthias Sammer said he was ôendlessly sorryö about RobbenÆs injury.
ôArjen was in the form of his life and has helped decide so many games for us recently,ö Sammer said.
Robben had scored five goals in the last four games. He scored BayernÆs first goal in Augsburg, before being taken out on a stretcher in the 16th minute.
Augsburg goalkeeper Marwin Hitz was responsible for RobbenÆs injury. Robben was called for offside but continued running with the ball and Hitz charged off his line to bring Robben down with a hard tackle. Hitz said he challenged Robben because he didnÆt know if the winger would stop.
ôI was late and really hit him. I am very sorry,ö Hitz said.
Robben will miss the Club World Cup in Morocco later this month, next weekÆs Champions League match against Manchester City and Bundesliga games against Werder Bremen and Hamburger SV.
