Kingsley Coman to miss Chelsea visit as Hansi Flick delivers Bayern Munich team news update

Kingsley Coman will miss Bayern Munich's Champions League round of 16 second leg tie against Chelsea.

The France international emerged as a doubt for the game at the Allianz Arena after not training with the first-team earlier in the week as well as only being able to complete a 20-minute running session with the club's fitness coach.

Speaking ahead of the game, Bayern head coach Hansi Flick confirmed Coman is unavailable to face the Blues, but named the two players who are in contention to replace him.

"Yes I can tell you he won't be with us tomorrow," Flick confirmed. "He won't be playing with us tomorrow.

"But I think that we have great alternatives like Ivan [Perisic] and Philippe [Coutinho] who can substitute him."

Meanwhile, captain Manuel Neuer revealed the other Frenchman who will miss the visit of Chelsea and Frank Lampard.

"Kingsley Coman did not train with us today," Neuer said at the pre-match press conference. "I think we still have enough options up front.

"Chelsea have even more players unavailable.

"For us, everyone is fit and available except Kingsley and Benjamin Pavard."

Despite leading 3-0 from the first-leg, Neuer has warned his teammates not to take the Blues lightly.

"We shouldn't underestimate tomorrow's game," he added. "We know that we have a good advantage, but it's a new start after the break.

"So we want to start well, beat Chelsea and confirm our good performance from the first leg"
