Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben could only muster about half an hour of action in his team's Champions League clash against Olympiacos on Tuesday, exiting the match in the 32nd minute as a precaution due to a minor muscular problem.

He did not require medical attention and left the match on his own two feet. Joshua Kimmich entered in his place as Bayern continued on with the first half.

Robben played a key role in Bayern's third goal in the first half, heading the ball across the face of goal for Thomas Muller to finish in the 20th minute of play. His assist gave Munich a 3-0 lead.

The Dutch winger's exit from the match will be of significant concern for Bayern, however, as he'd only just returned from a groin injury that had sidelined him since August.
