The Frenchman tore the lateral collateral ligament in his left knee during his side’s 2-2 draw away to Hertha Berlin on October 1 and was expected to be out of action until 2018.
The 34-year-old, however, says he is in good shape and could well return before Bayern’s final game prior to the mid-season break, against Stuttgart on December 16.
Speaking after his side’s 5-0 win over Freiburg on Saturday, Ribery said: “I feel no pain. I just have to wait.
“I will be fit for the winter break pre-season 100 per cent. I have to be with the team in Qatar. Maybe I can already play again before the winter break.“Â
