Ribéry working on speedy comeback

A back problem forced Franck Ribéry to miss the 2-0 win at Greek champions AEK on Tuesday, but the Frenchman has used the last couple of days to get back to full fitness. On Thursday, as the rest of the squad enjoyed a day off, the 35-year-old was back at Säbener Straße as he targets a quick return.

Under the guidance of Dr. Holger Broich, Bayern's head of fitness, Ribéry completed an individual fitness session. Having joined some of his teammates in training on the previous day, the winger is due to return to full training on Friday with the aim of being available for the next Bundesliga game against 1. FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday afternoon.
