Ribery leaves training with ice on left knee

Franck Ribery left the pitch with ice on his left knee following a clash with goalkeeper Steve Mandanda during France training here on Saturday on the eve of their clash with Uruguay.

However the player said on leaving the pitch “it’s nothing” and the signs are he will be available for selection for Wednesday’s friendly at the Stade de France friendly.

The 25-year-old Ribery’s start to the season had been blighted after tearing ankle ligaments in Euro 2008 meaning a three-month hiatus, returning in mid-September.
