Bayern winger Franck Ribery out for three weeks

Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery has been dealt a big blow after being ruled out of action for up to three weeks with a muscular problem. 

The full extent of Ribery's injury has not been confirmed but the France winger pulled up during a recent training session. 

Bayern assistant coach Hermann Gerland says Ribery broke off training on Friday and 'he definitely needs 14 days to three weeks before he can play again.' 

Ribery will now miss Bayern's Champions League game against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday. 

The winger will also be absent for the upcoming Bundesliga games against Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Moenchengladbach, while the trip to Augsburg on October, 29 is doubtful.
