Chief rages over Robben

Netherlands winger Robben returned from the World Cup in South Africa with a thigh injury that will rule him out for up to two months, which Bayern claim was suffered on international duty but hidden so he could play in their run to the final, where they lost to Spain.

"It is a mini-catastrophe," he told the Sueddeutschen Zeitung. "If I rent a car I must return it in decent condition.

"They have, if I may say it in another way, taken Arjen in good shape and returned him to the garage in a right state."

Rummenigge suggested that the club may demand compensation for Robben, who was struggling with injury before the tournament and missed the Netherlands’ group wins over Denmark and Japan.

"We hope to find an amicable solution," he added.

"We pay the players, but the national teams injure them. FIFA values the players but we value them five or six times higher."

UEFA president Michel Platini has suggested additional insurance for top players at international tournaments, but FIFA needs to agree for such a proposal to come into effect.

"I hope we can get an agreement on this by Christmas," Rummenigge added.
