Bayern Munich have confirmed that Arjen Robben will not play again this season due to a calf injury.
The Netherlands international lasted just 16 minutes of his side's DFB-Pokal semi-final defeat to Borussia Dortmund last night.
The 31-year-old had only just returned from an abdominal injury, but his brief cameo on Tuesday evening will be his last of the campaign as Bayern have confirmed via their Twitter page that Robben has torn a muscle.
The club tweeted: "Arjen Robben has a tear in his left calf muscle. His season is over."
Robert Lewandowski has also been added to the injury list after he suffered concussion, as well as a broken jaw and nose after being clattered by Dortmund goalkeeper Mitchell Langerak during last night's game, in which Bayern missed all four of their penalties in a shootout.
The injury news is a huge blow to Bayern's Champions League campaign as they prepare to face manager Pep Guardiola's former club Barcelona in the first leg of the semi-finals next week.
