Robben confident of not being a benchwarmer
Arjen Robbern, Bayern Munich
The Dutchman faces stiff competition from players such as Xherdan Shaqiri and Thomas Muller for a place in the starting XI, but the winger does not expect to be ousted from Jupp Heynckes' line-up.
"Can I imagine myself ending up on the bench? No, of course not. And it won't be happening," Robben was quoted as saying byKicker.
"I have not even thought about such a scenario. I know what I'm capable of and I don't have any fear that I might lose my starting berth.
"However, nobody is a guaranteed starter. We all have to work and fight for our place."
After missing a Champions League-final penalty against Chelsea, the 28-year-old was booed by Bayern fans when he played at the Allianz Arena for Netherlands in a pre-Euro 2012 friendly.
