Liverpool take on Bayern Munich at Anfield this evening in the Champions League knockout stages.

Bayern have been boosted by Kingsley Coman’s return from injury.

The Metro reported last week he was a doubt for the Liverpool game after picking up a knock against Augsburg.

It now appears the winger has got the all clear to take on the Reds.

Bayern boss Niko Kovac said yesterday that the France international cannot wait.

He told the Evening Standard: “For me it’s a surprise that it went so quickly. It wasn’t planned like that. Nature intervened as it would like.

“Franck didn’t sleep at all, he was quite excited. He will join us today and he’s probably on the way now.”

The 22-year-old was outstanding in Bayern’s win over Augsburg on Friday night before picking up a knock.

He scored two goals and provided an assist in a 3-2 win.

He might have to settle for a place on the bench depending on his fitness. Liverpool will have to watch him closely.
