Bayern Munich attacker Arjen Robben is edging closer to a
comeback after resuming individual training on Wednesday
following a three-week spell on the sidelines due to injury.

The Netherlands international sustained a muscle problem in
Bayern's 4-0 Champions League win over Olympiacos on
November 24 and has been out of action since then.

The Bundesliga champions were initially hopeful Robben would
make a swift return, but the injury kept him out of games
against Hertha Berlin, Borussia Monchengladbach, Dinamo
Zagreb, Ingolstadt and Darmstadt.

The 31-year-old is making progress as he seeks to regain
fitness, although he remains doubtful for the trip to Hannover on
Saturday, Bayern's last match before the winter break.

Pep Guardiola's men are top of the Bundesliga table heading
into the game with 43 points from 16 games, holding a five-
point lead over second-placed Borussia Dortmund.

Robben has made just seven Bundesliga appearances so far
this season, scoring three goals in the process.
