Bayern Munich`s Pep Guardiola lost his usual composure when asked about France winger Franck Ribery`s possible return from an ankle injury as their Champions League quarter-final with FC Porto looms.
But Guardiola was short with reporters when they asked when Ribery is expected to return, ahead of Bayern`s German Cup quarter-final at Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday.
"I don`t know. Asks the doctors. I don`t know when he will come back," snapped the Spaniard.
Despite their huge, star-studded squad, Bayern have mounting injury problems with left-back David Alaba, right winger Arjen Robben and left winger Ribery all out for the forseeable future.
"I can`t play at the moment," Ribery simply told broadcaster Sport1 on Monday.
Bayern`s Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger will also miss their cup clash at Leverkusen with an ankle injury suffered in Saturday`s 1-0 defeat at Dortmund, but should be available for the weekend.
The Bavarian giants host mid-table Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday before the first-leg away to FC Porto in the Champions League with the return leg in Munich on April 21.
