He may need another two or three weeks before he returns to playing at the highest level, but Bayern’s star winger Kingsley Coman is finally back at training with his teammates. On Monday morning, the Frenchman put a nasty muscle injury behind him and joined first-team training after a month’s absence.King ist zurück im Mannschaftstraining! 🙏Welcome 🔙!#FCBayern #WelcomeBack #Coman pic.twitter.com/WqSSmGkM5x— FC Bayern München (@FCBayern) October 3, 2022 The 26-year-old missed France’s Nations League matches against Austria and Denmark in September due to a torn thigh muscle. However, on Monday, Coman was able to pass the ball around with teammates Benjamin Pavard, Dayot Upamecano and Matthijs de Ligt, earning a slap on the back from coach Julian Nagelsmann and applause from his teammates.Bayern will be expected to make it three wins form three Champions League group matches when they host pointless Czech side Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday.Nagelsmann may save Coman for Saturday’s high-profile Bundesliga clash between his third-placed side and Borussia Dortmund — who are the fourth level on points with Bayern — instead of giving him a run out against Plzen.##NAJAVA_MECA_6686421##Coman’s return is welcome news for France, who are struggling both on the pitch and off it with several stars injured and battling to be fit for the World Cup finals, which begin in Qatar in less than two months.His comeback is good news for the Bavarians because another two key players, Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Muller, are forced to stay in quarantine at least until Thursday.
