Hamstrung by a groin injury that has sidelined him since August, Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben returns Saturday as the defending Bundesliga champion host Cologne at the Allianz Arena.

In the Dutch international's absence, summer signing Kingsley Coman has deputized on the right wing, playing a major role in the club's perfect league campaign of nine wins in nine matches.

Coman will also start for Bayern on Saturday, as manager Pep Guardiola has opted for an attacking lineup featuring only three traditional defenders.
