Ribéry close to Bayern comeback


Ribéry close to Bayern comeback


Franck Ribéry could be back in action for FC Bayern München's UEFA Champions League Matchday 2 fixture against Olympique Lyonnais after returning to full training today.

Operations
The 25-year-old winger damaged ankle ligaments in his lower left leg during France's UEFA EURO 2008™ defeat by Italy, and has since undergone two operations. But last season's German sportswriters' Player of the Year is now close to fitness and coach Jürgen Klinsmann expects Ribéry back in action by the end of the month – giving him a chance of facing Lyon in Munich on 30 September. Klinsmann, whose team begin their Group F campaign at FC Steaua Bucureşti on 17 September, said: "We are working on Franck every day. He is gaining momentum every day and feeling much more confident."
