Daliath. Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Bayern Munich forward fit for Liverpool Champions League tie Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman has been ruled fit to play in next week's Champions League last-16, first leg tie at Liverpool after the Frenchman suffered an injury scare in their Bundesliga win over Augsburg on Friday. Coman scored two goals as Bayern twice came from behind to win 3-2 but turned his ankle towards the end of the game and had to be taken off. The 22-year-old has been plagued by injury in the past few seasons, missing France's triumphant World Cup campaign last year and then being injured again at the start of the Bundesliga season leading to another months-long injury break. After a detailed medical examination on Saturday morning the Frenchman got the all-clear fortunately and is therefore an option for the Champions League round of 16 first leg in Liverpool on Tuesday,' Bayern said in a statement. The Bavarians, who also saw goalkeeper Manuel Neuer return from injury on Friday, are two points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund, who visit bottom side Nuremberg on Monday. So twice the visitors were "caught cold" in the initial phase, as Manuel Neuer put it, but they didn't let it put them off their stride. Three minutes into first-half stoppage time, the strong Coman was able to equalise again, paving the way for the away win in the derby. In his analysis, Bayern captain Neuer was clear: "Getting the 2-2 before the break was crucial to getting us back on track to go on to win this game here." After the interval, the visitors were the only team in the game and after taking the lead with an Alaba strike in the 53rd minute, they held on till the end.
