The winger has undergone surgery and will
be absent for several weeks, meaning he will miss the last-16 clash with the
Gunners
Bayern Munich have confirmed that Franck
Ribery will miss the first-leg of the club's last 16 Champions League clash
with Arsenal after having surgery to his buttocks.
The France winger, 30, was absent from the
Bavarians' 2-0 win over Nurnberg on Saturday with the injury and went under the
knife on Thursday in a bid to completely eradicate the problem.
"An examination on Monday revealed
that the nerve which had been under pressure from a bruise was completely
removed in surgery last Thursday," the club announced on their official
website.
"After healing, the 30-year-old is
scheduled to begin [his recovery] later this week with exercise therapy and a
week later should enter back into running training.
"This means Ribery will be missing
from the next few games, including in the first knockout round first leg of the
Champions League with Arsenal."
The Champions League holders travel to the
Emirates on February 19 before the return leg on March 12.
