Ribery grateful for club support
Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery says he is grateful to the Bundesliga leaders for standing by him during his long absence due to injury. Ribery missed almost a full calendar year of action with muscle and ankle problems but has won his place back in the Bayern side despite strong competition from Kingsley Coman and Douglas Costa. Bayern – who are five points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the Bundesliga table – face Eintracht Frankfurt at home on Saturday and Ribery was in reflective mood ahead of the game.
