Berlin: French winger Franck Ribery admits he was delighted to take part in team training at Bayern Munich on Wednesday for the first time after nearly nine months out with injury.

"It's a super day for me and very emotional," said Ribery after 264 days out with the persistent ankle injury he suffered on March 11. The 32-year-old hopes to make his comeback on December 12 in a league game at Bavarian neighbours Ingolstadt. But this Saturday's key clash against fourth-placed Borussia Moenchengladbach or next Wednesday's Champions League game at Dinamo Zagreb are definitely too soon.
