Munich - FC Bayern München have confirmed that wing duo and will miss Saturday's trip to SV Werder Bremen through injury.

Key men

Robben, who had to be replaced just 19 minutes into the Bundesliga leaders' 7-0 rout of FC Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, is suffering from a trapped nerve in his thigh, while Ribery - withdrawn after an hour of Wednesday's last-16 second leg at the Allianz Arena - has a sprained ankle.

Between them, 'Robbery' have played a part in 36 of Bayern's 66 league goals so far this season, with the defending champions currently 11 points clear of second-placed VfL Wolfsburg at the top of the standings.
