The Dutch winger says he accepts his coach's decision to start him on the bench against Hamburg as he returns from injury

Arjen Robben hopes to quickly return to the Bayern Munich starting line-up, but respects Pep Guardiola's team selection.

Robben came on as an 81st-minute substitute in Bayern's 2-1 victory over Hamburg last Friday, making his return from a muscle injury in his first competitive appearance since the 4-0 Champions League win over Olympiacos in November.

The Dutchman is eager for more game time in order to rediscover his best form, but will not question Guardiola's authority in naming the team.

"I noticed that I'm getting stronger. I need rhythm, I need games. This time it was only 10 minutes," Robben is quoted as saying by TZ.

"Of course [I'd like to be playing more], but this is the coach's decision and you have to accept it.
