starting line-up, but respects Pep Guardiola's team
selection.
Robben came on as an 81st-minute substitute in Bayern's
2-1 victory over Hamburg last Friday, making his return
from a muscle injury in his first competitive appearance
since the 4-0 Champions League win over Olympiacos in
November.
The Dutchman is eager for more game time in order to
rediscover his best form, but will not question Guardiola's
authority in naming the team.
"I noticed that I'm getting stronger. I need rhythm, I need
games. This time it was only 10 minutes," Robben is quoted
as saying by TZ .
"Of course [I'd like to be playing more], but this is the
coach's decision and you have to accept it.
"I haven't even been in training for two weeks; I still need a
little more time, but I will do everything in training."
The 32-year-old urged his team-mates to settle back into
regular action quickly ahead of their Champions League
last-16 meeting with Juventus next month.
"We must continue to work well and improve ourselves.
Juventus will come faster than you think. We need to be at
full throttle in every match," Robben added.
