Bayern invite Robbie Williams to training session

BERLIN, July 31: British pop star Robbie Williams has been invited to train with Bayern Munich while he is in the Bavarian capital for a series of concerts this week, the club's sporting director Uli Hoeness was quoted saying today.

''Naturally we'll invite Robbie Williams to join us,'' Hoeness told German reporters travelling with the team for a test match in Japan against the Urawa Red Diamonds on Monday.

Williams' management had earlier asked Bayern Munich whether it would be possible to take part in a workout.

Williams, who practised with a local soccer team in Berlin during a previous concert stay, was given three choices to practise with the defending Bundesliga champions: Tuesday, Thursday or Friday.
