Franck Ribery eager to reach top form after spell on sidelines

Franck Ribery has targeted a long spell in the Bayern Munich team after making his return from a knee injury at the weekend.

The French winger, who has faced a number of setbacks early in the season, came off the bench to help Bayern record a 6-0 win over Hannover on Saturday afternoon, and he is hopeful of finding his best form as soon as possible.

"I felt good," Ribery told reporters. "Now I need to string together games to regain my rhythm and thus quickly reach my best level.

"The fact that we can play every three days can be beneficial to me. My knee is holding firm. Now I hope to really play, play and play."
