Franck Ribéry sustained a thigh injury when exercising during the international break. "At first I feared it would be more severe," the Frenchman revealed in the FC Bayern Matchday Show before Saturday's home match against Gladbach. Fortunately he was mistaken: "I'm feeling much better already," said Ribéry, who aims to resume training after an MRT scan on Monday.
