Ouch! Robben inspects his bloodied knee as he waits for the Bayern physios to give him treatment Treatment: Physios tear open Robben's leggings to tend to his injured knee 'I'm very disappointed,' said Robben. 'I was in great form and was looking forward to each game and now this happens. I'll be back, though.'

The Holland international, who was accused of feigning injury during his time at Chelsea, has toughened up whilst at Munich and his fitness will no doubt have boss Pep Guardiola sweating. The 29-year-old has been in scintillating form for Bayern so far this season and has already scored 11 goals in just 19 games for the Bundesliga champions.

With the World Cup in Brazil on the horizon, Robben will be hoping the knee injury won't rule him out for too long, especially when he is in such fantastic form.
