Both forwards have quickly recovered from negligible injuries, which they picked up in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over Steaua in the UEFA Champions League.

French ace Ribery bruised his ankle in the showdown, while the Italy marksman, who scored the second goal, suffered a shoulder blow.

The unavailability of the strike partnership would have been a major setback for Jurgen Klinsmann's men, who lie third in the German League table with 28 points.

On the other hand, defender Martin Demichelis and want-out striker Lukas Podolski have been ruled out of the game due to physical unfitness.

Attacking Strategy

Coach Klinsmann seemed upbeat over the highly-anticipated Bundesliga game.

"We're really looking forward to it. We're in good shape and we aim to attack," the German boss told Bayern’s official website.

The defending champions are keen to snatch the second place from Leverkusen, who are only several goals ahead.

Bayern are facing Leaders Hoffenheim next week, and winning the upcoming game would definitely ensure their chances to hit the top spot.
