Bayern Munich midfielder Franck Ribery will join up with his France team-mates on May 26 ahead of the Euro 2012 campaign, coach Laurent Blanc said.

Blanc said that he was not concerned by the minor ankle injury which Ribery picked up in Saturday’s Champions League final loss to Chelsea.

The France coach said Ribery had suffered a blow to the ankle but the problem was not muscular nor was it a sprain.

“Franck is still involved with his club the evening of the 22th and will join us the 26th at Valenciennes. There was a lot of disappointment for Franck, which is logical.”
