Munich team defender Franck Ribery will not be able to play for another three weeks due to a road injury, reports the German media.

The 27-year-old footballer was injured during a match against Wolfsburg in mid-January, but was hoping that the Frenchman would be back on the field in early February.

However, doctors now predict that Ribery will only return to the lineup on February 19. Nevertheless, Bayern coach Louis van Gaal did not comment on these Bild newspaper reports.
