MUNICH, Germany (AFP) - French midfielder Franck Ribery will be out of action for up to two months after he had to go off injured in his country's Euro 20008 loss to Italy on Tuesday, his club doctor said Wednesday.

Bayern Munich's Dr Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt said playmaker Ribery, would be on the sidelines for "seven to eight weeks" after he was stretchered off having twisted his ankle early in the 2-0 defeat which sent France packing.

According to Muller-Wohlfahrt, who is Bayern's and the German national team's doctor, Ribery, who had to go off after just ten minutes in a huge blow for Les Bleus, has torn a ligament above his left ankle.

Considering that I had a few glasses of good Italian wine, let us do this all over again!: Only a nine year old would ask why!.Anyone else older than would probably accuse Italy of purposely injuring him to gain an unfair advantage! I think I got it right!

Well! Maybe I had more than a few glasses of good Italian wine. Let us do it again for the third time, shall we? Only a nine year old would ask "why?:" Anyone else older than that would probably accuse Italy of purposely injuring Rivery just to gain an unfair advantage! I think I got it right this time. If not, check my profile!

He (Ribery) faked the bloody injury. He sensed his lose at the start of game.
