The Dutchman looks set to make a comeback for the Bavarian giants after completing a practice session on the pitch and could even be called upon for a top-of-the-table clash

Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has returned to training for the first time since undergoing an operation in October to cure a groin problem.

According to Goal.com Germany, the Dutchman trained yesterday with Bayern's fitness coach Thomas Wilhelmi performing sprints and heavy ball training for over an hour.

The Bavarian side's coach Jupp Heynckes was pleased with the 27 year-old's progress, but warned that the winger will only return to action when he is fully fit.

“Arjen makes progress everyday but he will not be rushed. To make a comeback he must be 100 per cent,” Heynckes said.

The superstar winger could make a likely return either in the next fixture against Borussia Dortmund at home on November 19, or the following week's away match versus Mainz.
