Bayern Munich hotshot Franck Ribery will not be coming out of international retirement, according to his official representative.
The 32-year-old decided to retire from international duty after missing the 2014 World Cup through injury and was heavily criticized for the decision.
However, Ribery’s agent believes his client was not given the respect he deserves and has virtually ruled out the winger changing his mind.
“I do not think there’s a chance of seeing Ribery in the national team again,” agent Jean-Pierre Bernes told Radio Monte Carlo. “He made a choice and he is going to stick with it until the end.
“In France, we were not always very kind to him. In life, one is not obliged to attack a person.
“Franck is very emotional guy and the climate of permanent criticism was not good for him.”
Ribery has been struggling with an ankle injury of late, but Bernes believes he will return into action in the coming weeks.
“I got him on the phone yesterday (Tuesday). He is still injured. He returned playing previously while he was still injured. He wanted to play with the pain but it got worse.
“He is in a recovery phase now but I think we will see him again before the end of the season.”
