Yeah, Ribéry’s situation is really worrying. His back injury has been dragging on for weeks, and while the French camp was optimistic initially, the latest updates sound more bleak.
Deschamps was hopeful he’d rejoin group training soon, but it seems the progress isn’t there yet. If Ribéry can’t get back to full fitness in time, he might miss the World Cup altogether — which would be a huge blow for France and for him personally.
He’s been such a key player for Bayern and France, so missing out on Brazil would be heartbreaking. Fingers crossed he can pull through, but right now it’s definitely touch and go.
