Ribery was carried from the pitch by two medics on the half hour mark of Bayern's 2-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the International Champions Cup (ICC) in Singapore on Thursday.

Ribery, 34, is now Bayern's longest-serving player following the retirement of Philipp Lahm.

Captaining the side, Ribery suffered the injury following an innocuous challenge with Inter defender Milan Skriniar. However, a relieved Bayern boss Ancelotti confirmed at the post matchnews conference that the injury would not keep Ribery on the sidelines for long.

"Ribery has a little cut on the ankle," he said. "He needed some stitches but I think in two or three days he will be fit."

While the former France international said: "My ankle is swollen and I had two stitches. We'll see what it's like after three or four days break. But it isn't anything bad."

Last weekend, Juan Bernat suffered ankle ligament damage in the 4-0 defeat to AC Milan. The Spain international could be ruled out for a minimum of three months, while Thiago also flew home prematurely after picking up a thigh injury in training.

Arjen Robben didn't make the trip to Asia after suffering a muscle injury playing tennis on holiday.

The Bundesliga champions flew back to Germany immediately following the defeat as their 12-day tour of China and Singapore drew to a close.

The games keep coming thick and fast though: Bayern face Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in the annual Audi Cup tournament in Munich on Aug. 1 before facing either Atletico Madrid or Napoli the following day in the final or third-place playoff.

Their domestic campaign in Germany kicks off with a trip to rivals Borussia Dortmund in the DFL Supercup on Aug. 5, before Bayern begin their quest for a fifth consecutive Bundesliga title at home to Bayer Leverkusen on Aug. 18.
