injury sidelines Ribery from Bayern friendly
Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery will miss Friday
night's first pre-season friendly against Salzburg with a knee
injury.
The 26-year-old France international, heavily linked with a move
away from Bavaria this summer, sat out training on Thursday and is
not expected to resume until early next week.
Team-mate Philipp Lahm told L'Equipe: "I cannot say yet
whether he will be with us this season.
"But, as long as he is, he must integrate into the squad because
the team is the most important thing. He has given his all in
recent days and left a good impression."
The match, Bayern's first under new coach Louis van Gaal, could
see Germany striker Mario Gomez make his first appearance in the
club's colours on his 24th birthday.

Franck Ribery Pulls Out Early Of Bayern Munich Training Again
The Frenchman was once again forced to abandon Die Bayern’s training session…

Not for the first time this summer, Franck Ribery had to leave Bayern Munich’s training ahead of schedule because of injury.
The Frenchman has already had to miss
two previous sessions last week, the first of which stirred up a
massive storm when he was accused of faking an injury to skip training
with the squad to protest Bayern’s refusal to let him join Real Madrid.
In yesterday’s programme, Ribery left
the pitch just 60 minutes into the session due to a recurring problem
in his left knee. However, there was no suspicion of malice this time
as his team-mates and his club believe that the injury has now gotten
quite serious, while neither the German nor Spanish press have
speculated on any rebellious behaviour.
“Everything that he does is under close
scrutiny now, be he would not have exaggerated anything,” Hamit
Altintop was quoted as saying by AS.
Bayern’s official club website,
meanwhile, explained: “His injury has worsened. He will receive
treatment until his recovery is complete, but there is no date set when
he will return to the team for training.”
Ribery also missed the Bavarian outfit’s friendly against Salzburg last Friday.
