Bayern Munich and the French national team have both been dealt a significant blow as winger Kingsley Coman sustained a right adductor muscle injury during the Bundesliga match against Cologne at the Allianz Arena in Munich on Saturday.
Coman was substituted by Jamal Musiala in the 50th minute after appearing to be in discomfort. Assisted off the field, his injury raises concerns for both club and country as he is expected to be sidelined for several weeks.
Bayern’s Sporting Director Christoph Freund commented on Coman’s condition after the match: \”We hope it won’t be counted in months. We’ll see what the test says, but we’ll expect him not to be available for several weeks.\”
The timing of Coman’s injury is unfortunate for Bayern Munich, who are preparing for the second-leg game of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals against Arsenal at home on April 17. His absence will undoubtedly impact the team’s attacking options in this crucial fixture.
Despite the setback, Bayern Munich secured a 2-0 victory over Cologne, with goals from Raphael Guerreiro in the 65th minute and Thomas Müller in stoppage time.
For the French national team, Coman’s injury adds to a growing list of concerns ahead of upcoming international fixtures. His pace and creativity on the wing have been instrumental for France, and his absence could influence team dynamics in the near future.
Both Bayern Munich and French football fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Coman’s recovery timeline, hoping for his swift return to the pitch.
