Arjen Robben's return from a groin injury will not come Tuesday.

Set to visit Arsenal in the Champions League, Bayern Munich checked in for its flight to London, England on Sunday without Robben, as the journey came too early for the Dutch winger.

Robben, who returned to training nearly two weeks ago, picked up the injury on international duty, exiting the pitch only 31 minutes into the Netherlands' 1-0 defeat to Iceland in early September. It was subsequently announced by Bayern he would be out for four weeks, but Tuesday's match will mark six weeks and three days since he suffered the problem.

Last season, saw Robben make only 21 Bundesliga appearances due to a number of injuries, including an abdominal tear acquired near the end of the campaign.
