Berlin - Franck Ribery is back from a five-week injury layoff and will be on the bench for Bayern Munich's Bundesliga game with Hamburg this weekend, coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Friday.
The charismatic 33-year-old French winger tore thigh muscles in training in January.
"He's ready, I think we'll start him on the bench," said Ancelotti, who confirmed that Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso would be unavailable for the game.
