BIG PUSH: Bayern lost another ‘running machine’ before the Arsenal rematch

Bayern winger Kingsley Coman had to leave the field after a strong collision in the penalty area. The French striker will almost certainly be absent from the match against Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the 2023/24 Champions League next week.

Bayern lose another 'running machine' before the Arsenal rematch?

Last night, Bayern Munich defeated Cologne 2-0 in round 29 of the Bundesliga. This result of Bayern means that Leverkusen cannot be crowned immediately, but Xabi Alonso and his team will decide for themselves in their match tonight, April 14.

If they defeat Bremen, Leverkusen will officially dethrone Bayern to win the Bundesliga championship for the first time in the club’s history. Currently, Bayern is ranked 2nd with 63 points, 13 points behind Leverkusen. The only consolation for Bayern is that they will be in good spirits to be ready to play Arsenal in Munich in the Champions League mid-next week.

However, it is worth noting that Bayern continued to suffer losses in this match. In the 48th minute, Kingsley Coman tried to stretch his body and then fell to the ground. The 27-year-old striker held his back thigh in pain. The Gray Tigers coaching staff was forced to withdraw Coman to be replaced by Jamal Musiala.

Information from Bayern itself said that Coman had a muscle injury and had to miss a few weeks. This means that the French winger cannot participate in the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Arsenal next Thursday.

Kingsley Coman’s season was interrupted by two muscle and ligament injuries. The former Juventus star was out of action for 77 days, missing 13 Bayern Munich matches. To date, Coman has only scored 5 goals and made 3 assists in all competitions.

In addition to Coman, Bayern also does not have the services of Serge Gnabry and Alphonso Davies in the next match against Arsenal. In the first leg, Gnabry suffered a hamstring injury, and Davies received a third yellow card and was suspended in the second leg. In the first leg, Bayern had a 2-2 draw at Arsenal’s field.
