0 Comments | AFP, June, 2008

MUNICH, Germany (AFP) — French midfielder Franck Ribery will be out of action for up to two months after he had to go off injured in his country's Euro 20008 loss to Italy on Tuesday, his club doctor said Wednesday.

Bayern Munich's Dr Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt said playmaker Ribery, would be on the sidelines for "seven to eight weeks" after he was stretchered off having twisted his ankle early in the 2-0 defeat which sent France packing.

According to Muller-Wohlfahrt, who is Bayern's and the German national team's doctor, Ribery, who had to go off after just ten minutes in a huge blow for Les Bleus, has torn a ligament above his left ankle.
