Robben vows to ‘fight till I drop'
Arjen Robben sustained a torn stomach muscle three weeks ago in Bayern's home meeting with Mönchengladbach. The winger appeared on TV prior to the Frankfurt clash and talked of his recovery. "It's healing up very well. The pain's gradually gone down over the last few days," the Dutchman reported. However, no date has been set for Robben to make a comeback. "Unfortunately, I have to be patient for a little while longer," the player said, although he ended with a promise: "I'll fight till I drop to be back again as soon as possible."
