Bayern Munich blow as Kingsley Coman adds to injury woes before Champions League showdown with Arsenal

Kingsley Coman has worsened Thomas Tuchel’s headache ahead of the Champions League second leg against Arsenal.

The German giants host the Gunners at the Allianz Arena next Wednesday with a 2-2 scoreline heading into the quarter-final second leg.

Bayern are already without winger Serge Gnabry, who suffered a hamstring strain on his return to the Emirates.

And they will also miss left-back Alphonso Davies against Mikel Arteta’s men due to a suspension following his yellow card in north London.

Tuchel could now see French striker Coman sidelined after his second-half exit in the 2-0 home win over Cologne on Saturday.

The 27-year-old appeared to have a knee problem, leading to him being replaced by Jamal Musiala shortly after the break.

He limped off the field where he had to be supported by Bayern medics on either side of him.

Bayern had even omitted Leroy Sané from their squad to face Cologne, with Tuchel keen to maintain his fitness.

It was a similar situation for goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, with both men only returning from injury midweek in the European Cup.

If Coman is ruled out against Arsenal, it is likely that Musiala and Sane will be deployed on the wings, with Harry Kane up front.

Coman came off the bench against Arsenal where he almost won late on for the visitors.

He got in front of his marker at the near post to meet Musiala’s low cross, but could only guide his effort onto the woodwork.
