Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben is not certain of returning to the side from injury for the Bundesliga meeting with Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
Coach Pep Guardiola said Friday the Dutch international was "a bit better" but still not 100 per cent fit after being sidelined with a pinched nerve in his thigh.
"We will analyse his situation today," Guardiola said on Friday.
Robben missed last week's goalless draw at Borussia Moenchengladbach and the midweek 3-1 win at SV Hamburg in the German Cup.
Champions and league leaders Bayern face a Dortmund side which has lost its last four league games, but Guardiola warned that Dortmund were "a great, great opponent."
Listing several Dortmund players, the Spanish coach said: "Tomorrow we will see the best performance from these players on the pitch."
Bayern, who have gone 13 matches in the Bundesliga without defeat, have lost three and drawn one of their home league meetings with Dortmund in the last four seasons, Guardiola pointed out.
Guardiola has personally experienced three defeats against Dortmund in his time as Bayern coach - in the 2013 and 2014 Supercups and in their last league meeting - a 3-0 defeat - towards the end of last season when Bayern had already clinched the title.
According to the Bayern homepage, the match will be broadcast in 208 of the 209 Fifa member nations. Only North Korea is not showing the match, it said.
