Bayern Munich forward Kingsley Coman’s knee injury which he sustained in Wednesday’s Champions League win over Tottenham Hotspur, will keep him sidelined until January as it looked worse than it actually was, the club said.
The Frenchman, who has suffered several severe knee injuries in the past seasons, was injured during Bayern’s 3-1 home victory over Tottenham that sent them through to the competition’s knockout stages as group winners with a perfect record of six wins in six games.
“Obviously we were all shocked at the moment he sustained the injury but Kingsley had a lot of luck,” club doctor Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt said in a statement. “The checks showed that he will miss only three matches and he will be able to do the entire preparation in Doha.”
Coman, 23, opened the scoring in the 14th minute but jarred his knee just over 10 minutes later and left the pitch in considerable pain.
He tore a capsule in his left knee and also damaged a tendon and jarred the knee joint, forcing him to wear a knee splint. The Bundesliga pauses on December 22 and resumes about a month later following a winter break. (Sky Sports)
