Heynckes: 'Martinez ready to return'

Bayern Munich head coach Jupp Heynckes believes that midfielder Javi Martinez will have recovered from a toe injury in time for his side's match with Arsenal on Tuesday evening.

Martinez missed Bayern's 2-0 victory over Wolfsburg on Friday night with a bruised toe but Heynckes has revealed that Martinez's recovery "looks really good".

He told reporters: "As things stand at the moment, it looks really good. He is available again.

"We have to see how the injury reacts, but I think it'll be OK."

Martinez has impressed in Germany since his £34m move from Athletic Bilbao during the summer.
