The 34-year-old Frenchman, at Bayern since 2007, is desperate to return to action as he battles for a contract extension at the end of the season.

Ribery tore the lateral collateral ligament in his left knee in the German champions' 2-2 draw at Hertha Berlin on Oct. 1.

"Playing on Saturday against Augsburg is a bit early for him," the club said in a statement.

Spaniard Juan Bernat, however, who has yet to play this season after being injured during the pre-season, sounded confident of a possible return on Saturday.

"Maybe I can be part of the team at the next game," Bernat said. "I am feeling good."
