“This is not a nice situation for Franck, that’s quite clear. But it’s not a good situation for the coach and the team either. We need him back. That is the most important thing.”

“Franck still has some fitness issues, though. That’s the worst thing for a player, when you are having problems and cannot train with the team. When you have an injury and need surgery, you know how long it will be before you can return. But with this kind of injury, you never know how long your recovery will take. That’s frustrating for a player.”

With four games yet to be played, Bayern Munich have already won the Bundesliga title this season. But the season is not over yet as they’ll face Barcelona in the semi final round of UEFA Champions League. The Bavarians are the only ones from Germany who are in the race of winning treble this season.

Can Franck Ribery return to play against Barcelona in semi final? Time will tell.
