The bad news is piling up for the Blues. This Friday, at a press conference, Julian Nagelsmann, Bayern Munich coach, announced that the Blues striker was injured the same day in training. “He was injured this morning in training, said the German coach. He is currently having an MRI. It appears to be a muscle injury, but we hope it’s nothing serious. »
Bayern Munich confirmed the information by issuing a press release: “Kingsley Coman suffered a muscle tear in the back of his right thigh on Friday during final training before the Bundesliga match against VfB Stuttgart. This was revealed by the examination carried out by the FC Bayern medical service. Coman is therefore unavailable at the moment.
While the length of Coman’s absence is not yet known, he could be absent during the Les Bleus rally, which is due to start on Monday, September 19. It remains to be seen whether Didier Deschamps will enter the name of the Bayern player when publishing his list, unveiled on Thursday, December 15.
With the absence of Paul Pogba, operated on his right knee on Monday and whose recovery is estimated at 8 weeks, and that of Karim Benzema, from a semitendinosus muscle injury and an overload in the quadriceps in the thigh right, this is a third important element that might not be present. At 26, Coman was injured at the end of April with already muscle problems. As a reminder, the time to recover from a tear is about two months.
