Bayern Munich great Arjen Robben has offered advice regarding Philippe Coutinho.

The Barcelona midfielder, on-loan with Bayern, must be given time to settle, says Robben.

"You have to give him some time. He arrives at a new club, a new team. It always takes a little time, a couple of weeks. But I think he will make many good games for Bayern," Robben said.

On Coutinho inheriting his number, Robben added: "I just want the best for the club. If a new player arrives and wants the 10, what could I say? Ask them to leave the number hung up for a season?"

Coutinho made his debut in victory over Schalke on the weekend.
