MUNICH, Germany (AFP) - Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal has decided against risking Dutch winger Arjen Robben for Wednesday's Champions League clash at Bordeaux.
The 25-year-old injured his right knee in the 0-0 draw at home to Juventus on October 1 which required surgery.
Bayern beat Freiburg 2-1 in the Bundesliga on Saturday and are fifth in the table while the German giants are joint leaders at the top of Group A in the Champions League alongside Bordeaux who also have four points.
Aside from Robben Bayern are also without French international Franck Ribery.
