The French talisman may not be showing any signs of the H1N1 virus, but FCB are making him train on his own in any case...

Franck Ribery has recently resumed light training as he recovers from an injury to his left patella, but the luckless Bayern Munich star has been forced into quarantine after his wife contracted swine flu.

According to a report on Goal.com Germany, the Frenchman has been training away from his team-mates.

Coach Louis van Gaal explained in his pre-match press conference that the risk of infecting some of the other squad members is too great, despite the fact that the winger has not picked up any swine flu symptoms himself.

Ribery is training by himself on an exercise bike as he looks to finally overcome a troublesome knee, which threatened to rule him out of much of the rest of the season.

However, reports suggest that a comeback could be on the cards within two or three weeks.
