Niko Kovac says long-serving winger Arjen Robben deserves better than to spend the final months of his Bayern Munich career on the treatment table.
Veteran wide-man Robben, 35, fears he has played his final game for the club after hurting his calf in the latest of a long series of injury issues.
The ex-Netherlands international will leave the Allianz Arena when his contract expires at the end of the campaign.
Robben last featured for the Bundesliga champions on November 27, scoring twice in a Champions League win over Benfica.
