Bayern loses Robben in Ancelotti’s first match as coach

Bayern Munich barely won and lost winger Arjen Robben to injury in Carlo Ancelotti’s debut as coach on Saturday.

Bayern won 4-3 against the fifth-tier Lippstadt club, on goals from Julian Green, Robben, Franck Ribery, and an own goal from the home side.

A couple of minutes after scoring in the 33rd minute, Robben limped off with a groin injury.

Bayern was missing many players who were still on holiday following the European Championship.
