Bayern Munich confirmed on Monday
that veteran winger Franck Ribery will
be out for “ the coming weeks ” after
tearing a knee ligament.
The 34 - year - old had to be helped off in
the 62 nd minute of Bayern ’s 2 - 2 draw
at Hertha Berlin on Sunday and German
media expect the Frenchman to be out
for up to three months.
Bayern said Ribery’ s affected left knee
will be “ treated conservatively and
rested for several weeks with a splint ” .
That means he will not undergo an
operation.
Ribery has already begun rehabilitation
but further therapy and training will be
decided at a later date depending on the
healing process, the Bundesliga
champions said .
“ We are sorry that Franck has injured
himself. We wish him a swift and good
recovery,” said Bayern chairman Karl -
Heinz Rummenigge.
Earlier, broadcaster Sky had reported
that Ribery would be out for between
two and three months.
The injury is a particular blow to the
Frenchman , who is out of contract at
the end of the season, and Bayern , who
are already without captain and
goalkeeper Manuel Neuer until January
with a fractured foot.
For the second league match running ,
Bayern threw away a 2 - 0 as goals from
Mats Hummels and Robert
Lewandowski were cancelled out by
Hertha’ s Ondrej Duda and Salomon
Kalou .
It left the Bavarian giants five points off
leaders Borussia Dortmund.
Caretaker coach Willy Sagnol was in
charge after Carlo Ancelotti was sacked
on Thursday in the wake of the 3 - 0
Champions League drubbing at Paris
Saint- Germain.
Ex- Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel and
Hoffenheim handler Julian Nagelsmann
are among the favourites to succeed
Ancelotti .
