Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti insists he will not take any risks with winger Franck Ribery against Arsenal.
Ribery has been out of action with a thigh injury he picked up in training, but it has been suggested he could be on the substitutes' bench for the clash against Arsenal at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night.
But despite the Bavarians looking to build up a decisive advantage in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie, Ancelotti will not take any risks with Ribery's fitness if he is not ready to play.
Ancelotti admitted to the club's official site: "It is a difficult one.
"We won't take any risks", he added.
