Bayern Munich goalscorer Kingsley Coman has suffered a serious leg injury that cut short his Champions League outing against Tottenham on Wednesday evening.

The 23-year-old was substituted mid-way through the first half at Allianz Arena, after opening the scoring for the Bundesliga champions in the 14th minute with a smart finish past Spurs goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga.

With no opposition defender in sight, Coman picked up the injury while trying to control the ball and was catapulted into the air before landing awkwardly - with what appeared to be a hyperextension of his left knee.

The France international sought medical treatment on the sideline immediately but was fortunately able to hobble from the pitch with assistance as he was replaced by Thomas Muller.

Coman has had persistent injury issues through his career since joining Bayern from Juve in 2015 - missing 31 games in 2018 because of two separate syndesmotic ligament issues in his ankle.
