The picture showed the former French star in cryotherapy box with the headline: "Woman found frozen in cryotherapy, health trend called into question."
Lawyer Carlo Alberto Busa told French radian RMC: "Mr Franck Ribery never gave his authorisation and his consent for the use of this picture of his image to this publication.
"Mr Franck Ribery and his family instructed me to go to French court to seek damages of at least $1.5million US dollars (£1million)."
The Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribéry is suing CNN for $1.5m (£996,965) in damages after the American broadcaster used a picture of the former France international to illustrate a story on cryotherapy, his lawyer said on Friday.
“Mr Franck Ribéry … never gave his authorisation and his consent for the use of this picture … of his image … to this publication,” Carlo Alberto Busa told French radio RMC.
The picture, which appeared on CNN’s Twitter feed, features Ribéry in a cryotherapy box with the following headline: “Woman found frozen in cryotherapy chamber, health trend called into question.“
Busa added: “Mr Franck Ribéry and his family instructed me to go to French court to seek damages of at least $1.5m.“
