Coman Return Gives Bayern European Boost

Bayern Munich's French international striker Kingsley Coman is fit again and trained Sunday ahead of the Bavarian outfit's Champions League Group D opener with Russians Rostov in midweek.

The gifted 20-year-old injured an ankle when kicked by teammate Javi Martinez three weeks ago and was carted away on a stretcher, but he is now available for Tuesday's home European game.

"A decision over whether he plays or not will be taken on the day," the club said on Sunday.

Although Bayern boast Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Mueller in attack, Coman's movement and touch offer an alternative and unpredictable threat.

At the same training session Sunday Dutch winger Arjen Robben and German defender Jerome Boateng both carried out light workouts, although this pair are definitely excluded from the Rostov game.
