The Frenchman has been out of action since March after being injured in their Champions League game against Shakhtar Donetsk with an initial recovery estimate of a few days. Six months on and Bayern can still not provide a comeback date for Ribery, who has admitted to being frustrated by the slow recovery progress.
“It is now mid-September and I think that will be the case, that during 2015 he will be whirling again,” Rummenigge told reporters. “What was important is to have the right diagnosis and treatment. I am not that pessimistic and I think in the not too distant future he will come back. That of course does not mean this week or next week. But he will come back. I am fully convinced of that and that is the key thing.”
