The former Real Madrid tactician has claimed that the Bavarian giants may struggle to maintain their impressive momentum when the 27-year-old returns

Bernd Schuster believes Bayern Munich might have a problem on their hands when Netherlands winger Arjen Robben returns to full fitness.

The former Chelsea man is currently out with a back problem and could spend up to a month on the sidelines, according to club doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt.

Bayern have coped well with the player's absence, hammering Freiburg 7-0 on Saturday in the Bundesliga and Schuster believes the team are better off without Robben.

"I do think that Robben is a problem for Bayern this year. I think the philosophy of the team is different under Jupp Heynckes. Robben is incredibly stubborn," the former Real Madrid coach told Sport1.

"He does what he wants to do, regardless of [Mario] Gomez and [Franck] Ribery's positions. Of course he has class, but this is a problem. Their game at the moment is fluid, he may slow it down."

The former Germany international has been out of work since March after leaving Turkish club Besiktas and has stated he would be interested in the Hamburg job, with current coach Michael Oenning under increasing pressure.

"If a coach has no job, HSV are always interesting. At some point I'd like to be back in the fold in Germany. I have had two or three opportunities to come to Germany. Two years ago I spoke with Bernd Hoffman [Hamburg's former president] about the HSV job," he added.

Schuster's last stint in the Bundesliga was during the 1998-99 season when he was in charge of Koln before leaving for Spanish side Xerez.

The Dutchman returned to training earlier this week and completed an intense sprints session on Thursday, but his injury woes resurfaced on Friday.

After an examination from the Bavarian club's medical staff, the former Real Madrid man has been given the all-clear to resume his rehabilitation from the troublesome injury.

The pain Robben experienced on Friday is said to be a natural reaction after not training for over a month.

Bayern face champions Borussia Dortmund next weekend in the Bundesliga, yet it is unlikely that Robben will feature in the game, despite being told he is fine to continue training.
