Good news for Kingsley Coman and the French team. Away from the field for a little over two months, the Bayern Munich striker, who had to withdraw from the last meeting of the Blues, returns to the group for the clash against Borussia Dortmund, this Saturday, during the 27th day of the Bundesliga.
“Kingsley is a big factor for us. He is returning to the group,” confirmed Thomas Tuchel during the pre-match press conference this Friday.
Kingsley Coman was injured on January 27 in Augsburg (Bayern's 3-2 victory) during the 19th day of the German championship. Hit in the action leading to his team's opening score, he suffered a tear in the lateral ligament of his left knee.
He will be a substitute at kick-off
The French international (27 years old, 55 caps) resumed racing at the end of February and returned to collective training for around ten days during the international break in a Munich group deprived of its numerous internationals.
Coman will start on the bench against Dortmund. Second with 60 points, Bayern is ten points behind Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen, while Borussia Dortmund is only fourth with 50 points, fighting with Leipzig (49) and Stuttgart (56) for third and fourth. places, qualifiers for the Champions League.
