Ribery injury worry for DFB-Pokal semi

Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery is a minor injury doubt for Tuesday's DFB-Pokal semi-final against Werder Bremen after sustaining a knock in training.

Ribery appeared as a second-half substitute as the Bundesliga leaders closed in on a fourth consecutive league title with a 3-0 win over Schalke on Saturday.

But the 33-year-old hobbled out of Monday's training session after Xabi Alonso caught his right foot in a challenge.

Reports by Bild suggest Ribery's injury is not serious and he will be assessed ahead of the match at the Allianz Arena, where he might play wearing protective tape.
