TRIPLE UPDATE -  The French wide player has returned to full training today and could be back for Juergen Klinsmann’s Champions League Match Day 2 selection with Bayern Munich facing Olympique Lyonnais.

DOUBLE UPDATE - Ribery has been scheduled to have the screw(s) removed from the initial surgery on Friday with hopes that he will be fit for action sometime in September.

UPDATE - Bayern Munich Chairman Karl-Heinze Rumminegge has stated that Ribery’s surgery in Basel, Switzerland was a success and the torn ligament in his left ankle have been repaired.

Every Munich player involved with the 2008 Euros will have at least three weeks off at the end and with Ribery’s eight week recovery period, you’d have to say it will be a welcome rest that will allow him to shut down and get his body back after an extremely long season.

Bayern Munich Franck Ribery will be out at least two months after tearing ligaments just above his ankle that will require surgery in the 8th minute of France’s 2-nil loss to Italy.

How will this affect Chelsea’s supposed bid for France’s best player by far and one of the best wide players in today’s game?

And now we’ve finally found out how bad it was behind the scenes for France.
