“While his team-mates started the week with a day off after the 2-1 home win against RB Leipzig, the winger completed a few laps of the club grounds at Sabener Strasse.

“Coman had been sidelined following his injury in FC Bayern’s Bundesliga match against FC Augsburg at the end of January and has now taken a step towards his comeback.”

There was further good news for head coach Thomas Tuchel as full-backs Noussair Mazraoui and Sacha Boey also returned to the training pitch after hamstring injuries.

The statement continued: “Right on Coman’s heels, right-backs Noussair Mazraoui and Sacha Boey also made an appearance on FC Bayern’s training pitch to complete their first laps after suffering hamstring strains.
