Bayern Munich is unstoppable just the way it is right now, so to add Arjen Robben to the mix could be lethal for any team that faces them from here on out. The Dutch midfielder will be back in action after missing more than a month with an injury.

Bayern Munich is coming off their 0-2 loss against Arsenal in the Champions League, a pretty impressive result as the Bundesliga leaders were destroying every team in their path. Now, they continue an unbeaten run in the domestic league, and if they win against Cologne, they will be the first team to do so in ten straight games.
With 27 points after nine games, Bayern is seven points clear of second place Borussia Dortmund.
"I have trained with the under-23s. It looks good for Saturday. If things continue like that, I will return on Saturday," Robben said to the media.

This was Robben's third injury in the course of the year. This recent one was due to a groin problem he suffered in international duty with Netherlands.
The player that just can't catch a break and is unclear about his return is Franck Ribery. The French playmaker suffered another problem with his ankle so his return date can't be set. Meanwhile, Medhi Benatia could be back with the first team next week after already taking part in some group exercises this week.
