Arjen Robben will miss the start of the new season after suffering an injury during Bayern Munich's friendly against Lippstadt on Saturday.

The Dutchman pulled up after making a sprint in the 35th minute and immediately left the pitch.

Tests have confirmed he is suffering from an adductor muscle injury that will keep him out of action for six weeks.
