Ribery, recovered from the latest in a string of ankle injuries, came on as a second-half substitute in a 1-0 extra-time win over Schalke 04 on Wednesday that took the Bavarians through to the German Cup final.
With a hectic end of season in store in the Bundesliga and the Champions League too, coach Louis van Gaal is keen for the gifted Frenchman to start playing regularly.
"Franck was injured in the summer's pre-season training and in the winter break and to come back during the season is difficult," Van Gaal told reporters.
"But he is a top quality player and a coach always wants to start with his best players."
"We are in the German Cup final now and some of the pressure on the team has been lifted," said Robben after scoring the winner on Wednesday.
"Now we need to keep pushing in the league and hope we get a good day in the Champions League."
"We are going to Munich to win," said Stuttgart coach Christian Gross who has transformed the team since taking over in mid-season, lifting them from deep in the relegation zone to seventh place.
