Franck Ribery could return to Bayern Munich training in the coming weeks, according to Pep Guardiola.

Ribery, 32, has yet to play a game this season, having picked up an ankle injury in the Champions League last-16 tie against Shakhtar Donetsk in March last term.

It has been a frustrating period for the former France international, who was initially only set to be out for a few days, but Guardiola has offered him some encouragement.
