Thomas Muller has proven his fitness in training and will return to Bayern Munich's line-up against Hannover, says Jupp Heynckes.

Jupp Heynckes has confirmed Thomas Muller will start for Bayern Munich against Hannover on Saturday after recovering from a hamstring injury.

The Germany international has not featured for the Bundesliga champions since a 1-0 win at Hamburg on October 21.

"We saw the old Muller again in training this week. Thomas is just radiating ambition," he told a news conference.

"I'm glad to have him back again. He'll start tomorrow."

"We'll see how they are after training and wait for the green light from the medical team before including them," Heynckes added.

"Arjen Robben has been working very hard in the gym, yesterday he did some running outside," Heynckes said.

"I don't want to make a prognosis about his return, there's no use in that, we will have to wait and see whether he'll be able to train with the team come Monday or Tuesday. 

"Right now, it's too early to make a statement.

"I don't know, but there isn't much time and especially with Arjen, I'd never risk anything. 

"He's obviously highly motivated, like always. But I won't be taking any risks at all."
