Kingsley Coman has caused Thomas Tuchel headaches ahead of the Champions League rematch with Arsenal.
The German giants host the Gunners at the Allianz Arena on April 18 in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals after the two teams drew 2-2 at the Emirates.
Bayern Munich are now without winger Serge Gnabry, who sustained a wrist injury in the first leg clash with Arsenal. Additionally, left-back Alphonso Davies will also miss the rematch with Mikel Arteta’s side due to suspension.
Misfortune continues to haunt the Bavarians as they may witness French forward Kingsley Coman sidelined long-term after he was substituted off in the second half during Bayern’s 2-0 victory over Cologne in the Bundesliga’s 29th round.
The 27-year-old seems to be dealing with a knee issue, leading to his substitution by Jamal Musiala. Coman limped off the pitch and had to be supported by Bayern’s medical staff on both sides.
If Coman is absent in the clash against Arsenal, it’s likely that Musiala and Sane will be deployed on the wings, with Harry Kane playing as the central striker.
Coman is likely to be absent in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal between Bayern Munich and Arsenal.
Coman was brought on as a substitute in the match against Arsenal, where he almost scored a late winner for the away team. It’s clear that his absence in the upcoming match will be a significant loss for Tuchel, especially considering that the Champions League is the only competition where Bayern Munich can hope to win the title.
