Ribery suffers injury blow, availability uncertain ahead of Atletico clash

Franck Ribery's availability for Bayern Munich's encounter with Atletico Madrid is in danger with news that the midfielder suffered an injury.

Manager Pep Guardiola revealed the injury blow after Bayern's failure to clinch the Bundesliga title against Borussia Monchengladbach, admitting he is unsure about Ribery's ability to recover from an unknown knock in time for the crucial second-leg encounter in the Champions League semi-finals.

Guardiola did not reveal the exact nature of the latest injury to plague the French midfielder.

Ribery was held out for just under a year with a serious ankle problem before returning in November. Then a thigh injury kept him out another couple of months until he regained fitness in February.

Bayern currently finds itself trailing the Spanish outfit after dropping the first match 1-0 at the Vicente Calderon. The inevitable Bundesliga champions will look to reverse the scoreline Tuesday in Munich.
