No men in tights: Bayern warns Robben

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MUNICH, Germany — Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben may have to play without his thermal tights — or change their colour.

Sporting director Christian Nerlinger says the German football federation (DFB) is not happy that Robben is playing in grey-coloured tights and not in red ones, the usual colour of Bayern’s shorts.

Nerlinger says DFB rules stipulate the long outfit has to have the same colour as the shorts and that Bayern is getting him red tights.

Robben has scored two goals in the last three games playing with the tights.
