With Bayern to host Chelsea at Munich's Allianz Arena on Saturday, the 28-year-old was back in training on Thursday after missing two days earlier in the week.

"I just had a bit of a cold, but I just wanted to make sure I didn't waste my energy," he said.

On Thursday, Robben took part in a 45-minute training session and said he would have to be bed-bound to miss the final against his former club.

"Only a fever of over 40 degrees would keep me away from the pitch," said the injury-prone Dutchman. "I feel good."
