Kingsley Coman has returned! Bayern Munich is currently on a much-needed international break, but the 26-year-old winger has been sidelined with an injury and is still recovering. According to FCBayern.com, he’s returned to running out on the pitch at Säbener Straße this week:
“Welcome back, Kingsley Coman! The winger took an important step towards his comeback on Tuesday: Around two and a half weeks after the 26-year-old tore his left hamstring in training, the Frenchman resumed running exercises in the morning. While Sven Ulreich and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting also braved the Munich rain during the international break and trained on the pitch, Coman completed some laps around the track.”
By the way, hopefully, that’s a translation error in the blurb — Coman’s early September injury, which occurred prior to the VfB Stuttgart match, was initially reported as a hamstring strain rather than a tear. However, if it had been a tear, a return so soon would be unlikely.
Coman will miss Didier Deschamp’s France national team call-up due to injury and will be unable to join teammates Benjamin Pavard and Dayot Upamecano. Lucas Hernández, another Bayern Munich player, is sitting with him. However, health aside, all four are strong contenders for the final squad for the 2022 Men’s World Cup, which begins in late November.
With Bayern’s recent goal-scoring slump, Coman’s return cannot come soon enough. He’s one of Julian Nagelsmann’s most dependable offensive assets, and he’s arguably the team’s best one-on-one take-on threat on the field. Bayern could use some help breaking down defenses, and Coman is the man for the job.
