Football Talk - Robben winning fitness battle - 06/04/10

Dutch winger Arjen Robben, who missed last week's first leg with a calf injury, will travel with Bayern Munich for their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

"I have hopes he'll be able to play, but we'll have to wait and see. His muscles are still strained," the Bayern Munich coach, Louis van Gaal, told the club's website this morning.

Bayern said the former Manchester City defender Daniel van Buyten would also make the trip to Old Trafford where the German side will defend a 2-1 first leg lead.
