Bayern Munich will travel to Real Madrid to chase a 2-1 deficit in the Champions League but they will be without Arjen Robben.

Robben lasted just eight minutes in the first leg last week before being forced off with the injury, subsequently missing Saturday’s 4-1 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Dutchman had been able to train over the weekend, but the fact that he did so alone on Sunday suggested Tuesday’s outing was going to come too soon for him.

And sure enough, Robben’s name was not included in Bayern’s squad list announced on Monday.

However, Javi Martinez and David Alaba are travelling, having struggled with their own injury problems of late.

Bayern head to Madrid having lost 2-1 at home in the first leg.
