The France international has not played for the Bavarian giants since December but completed a full training session on Monday and is poised to return to action
Arjen Robben has welcomed Franck Ribery's return to fitness as Bayern Munich enter a crucial run of fixtures.
Ribery has been sidelined since December after suffering a thigh muscle injury in the 3-1 defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach, but completed a full training session on Monday.
Pep Guardiola's side visit Bochum in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals on Wednesday and face away trips in the Bundesliga to Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund within the next month, after their Champions League last-16 first leg with Juventus.
And Robben insists that Ribery's return could not have come at a better time, telling FCB.TV: "It's nice to have Francky here again. We need him. There are some beautiful but heavy months coming up."
Looking ahead to the Bochum clash, Robben has warned his Bayern team-mates not to underestimate a side battling for promotion from the second division.
"It's a very intense game. It won't be easy," he said.
"Bochum could also play in the Bundesliga. We'll need all of us at our best."
