Robben Confesses To Missing Ribery

Dutch winger, Arjen Robben is hoping that his French clubmate, Franck Ribery regains full fitness soon. The Bayern Munich pair have not been able to combine properly since the French winger began suffering ankle injuries.

Ribery has been out of action since March. The 32-year-old is expected to return to action by September and Robben is anxiously looking forward to the reunion. Speaking to reporters after Bayern’s 5-0 victory over Hamburg, the Dutch attacker said:

“It is a difficult moment for him, especially mentally,”

“We support him, we hope that he will soon be able to play again. I miss him already, and our time together on the pitch. It was either him, or I, who was injured in the past. For a long time we could not play together.

“Our partnership has to come back.”
