Franck Ribery has made promising progress by lacing
up his football boots.
Franck Ribery has stepped up his recovery for Bayern Munich
by training in football boots for the first time since injurying his
ankle in March.
Former France international Ribery has not played a competitive
fixture since sustaining the injury in a Champions League fixture
against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.
Ribery has thus far been restricted to running drills and some
light work with the ball - albeit in running shoes.
Bundesliga champions Bayern have now provided a promising
update on Ribery, who recently spoke of his desire to return to
competitive action before the end of 2015.
A statement read: "Slowly but surely, long-term injury victim
Franck Ribery is returning to full fitness.
"On Friday, at the same time as his team-mates were setting off
for the evening Bundesliga fixture in Frankfurt, the French
winger pulled on and laced up his football boots for the first time
since sustaining an ankle injury last spring.
"Franck's 45-minute training session out on the pitch also
included a few drills with the ball at his feet. Once he was done,
the superstar high-fived every one of the 20 or so fans who had
watched him train."
