Franck Ribery has set his sights on returning to action with Bayern Munich at the end of the month after taking part in full training for the first time.

The France international underwent surgery after he tore ankle ligaments during an unhappy Euro 2008 campaign for Raymond Domenech's side as they crashed out of the tournament at the group stage.

He was back in action with his club colleagues on Thursday under the watchful eye of Bayern boss Jurgen Klinsmann and over a thousand fans.

The former Germany manager has pencilled the midfielder in for a return to action in the Bundesliga clash against Hanover on 27th September.

Klinsmann said: "He is working day after day with more energy.

"Franck is getting more and more confidence."
