Franck Ribery was forced to miss the World Cup for France with a back injury that flared up in early June.

Ribery himself came out last month to deny reports that he may require surgery on the injury, and Bayern revealed on Tuesday that he is very much on the road to recovery.

Accompanying a picture of Ribery in training, the Bundesliga champions tweeted: "Welcome back, Franck! #Ribery is completing a fitness course at Sabener Strasse."
