The players of the Munich "Bavaria" Arjen Robben and Serge Gnabri donated blood directly on the training field.

This was done at the direction of the head coach of the team, Niko Kovacs, reports Bild.

The procedure was carried out to measure the level of creatinine in the blood, the increase of which signals a defeat of the muscles.

Thus, Kovacs plans to reduce the amount of muscle damage that often gets players from the Munich club. Last season during a match with the "Real" because of such injuries Robben and Boateng fell out.

Let's remind, that Ковач became the main trainer of "Bavaria" after the termination of the last season, having replaced on this post Юппа Хаййнкеса. Prior to this, the Croatian specialist headed the Frankfurt "Eintracht".
