Robben returns to Bayern training
Munich - Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Arjen Robben, who injured himself in July during preseason, resumed physical training on Saturday, a day before the Bundesliga side face Borussia Dortmund in the German Supercup.
The Dutchman has had recurring injuries to his hamstrings throughout his career and hasn't featured for Bayern in a competitive match since March.

Robben, 32, pulled up during a sprint in the Bavarians' friendly at Lippstadt 08 in mid-July, forcing him to leave the match on 35 minutes with a suspected thigh injury. Since then, the former Chelsea winger has missed training and the club's U.S. tour.
Nursing an injury to his right hamstring, Robben will not be fit in time to face Dortmund on Sunday or for the start of the Bundesliga season against Werder Bremen on Aug. 26.
