The Bundesliga champions said the Frenchman pulled a muscle in his right thigh during training and would be out for about two weeks. Bayern host Arsenal in the first leg on Feb. 15.

"Franck Ribery had to break off training on Tuesday morning after suffering a thigh muscle strain in his right leg," the club said in a statement on Tuesday.

"The 33-year-old winger will not be available for an estimated two weeks."

Ribery extended his contract with Bayern last month until 2018.
