Franck Ribery says he is not worried about his future either in Bayern Munich or the France national team in the wake of his alleged involvement in a sex scandal with an underage prostitute.

Ribery told Bild in yesterday’s edition he was going through a “low point” in his life but was confident about his career.

“I am sure that I will win back the confidence of the people who now perhaps have doubts about me,” Ribery said.

“I am going to give them fun again. I will show them great dribbling, give them a positive feeling and score goals. Like before.

“There are moments in life that are oppressive and burdensome. This moment is one of them. I have to overcome this low point.

“I have no fear about my future, about my career. Neither in the national team nor in Bayern.”

Ribery has been questioned in France and been issued preliminary charges. He could face three years in prison if convicted of having sex with a minor. The call girl has said Ribery was not aware she was a minor at the time.

Ribery said he would like to thank his wife for her support. The couple has two children.

The winger said he would “never forget” the support of Bayern.

Struggling with injuries, Ribery had a low-key season with Bayern and missed the Champions League final loss to Inter because of a suspension.

Coach Louis van Gaal has said he still hasn’t seen the true version of Ribery, who had groin surgery after France’s elimination from the group stage of the World Cup. Bayern sent two fitness trainers to work with Ribery during his vacation.

The Bundesliga season kicks off on 20 August. Bayern, the defending champions, play Wolfsburg in the opening round.
