The Bavarian powerhouse will be without the France winger in Wednesday’s match as they aim to book their place in the quarter-finals
Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes will have to do without the services of Franck Ribery for the second-leg of their last-16 Champions League clash with Arsenal.
The France international featured for the full 90 minutes in Bayern’s 3-2 Bundesliga win over Fortuna Dusseldorf at the weekend and even scored the equaliser to make it 2-2 in the 73rd minute.
Nevertheless, he complained about pain in his left ankle after the match, and Bayern have now confirmed that he will not be match fit in time for Wednesday’s clash with the Gunners.
Ribery’s injury is yet another blow for Heynckes, who will also be without Bastian Schweinsteiger and Jerome Boateng due to suspension.
Bayern defend a 3-1 lead from the first leg at the Emirates Stadium.
