Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman is a doubt for his side’s Champions League clash with Liverpool on Tuesday after limping out of their 3-2 win at Augsburg.
Coman scored twice to bring his side back from behind before David Alaba scored a second-half winner which helped Bayern reduce the gap to the Bundesliga leaders, Borussia Dortmund, to two points.
But Coman suffered an apparent recurrence of a left ankle injury deep into injury time, which forced him to hobble from the field. The Bayern coach Niko Kovac told Eurosport: “We will have to see what happened to Kingsley. According to the doctors, it does not look that good at the moment.”
The Frenchman has already undergone two operations on the ankle, the first of which ruled him out of last year’s World Cup and the second after a recurrence on the opening day of the current season.
Bayern were 1-0 down after only 13 seconds following a Leon Goretzka own goal. Coman briefly restored order when he tapped in a Joshua Kimmich cross in the 17th minute.
When Ji Dong-won netted in the 24th minute to give the hosts a 2-1 lead it was the first time Augsburg had scored two goals against Bayern in a competitive game.
Robert Lewandowski, needing one goal to equal Claudio Pizarro’s 194 goals as the league’s all-time top foreign scorer, headed on to the crossbar but it was again the winger Coman who came to the rescue on the stroke of half-time to level once more.
Bayern’s comeback was complete when Alaba fired in from a tight angle in the 53rd minute, though Coman almost completed a hat-trick in the 73rd minute when the Augsburg keeper, Gregor Kobel, did well to tip his header over the bar.
The Bavarians are in second place on 48 points with Dortmund, on 50, travelling to the bottom club, Nuremberg, on Monday.
The Serie A leaders, Juventus, made light work of Frosinone, scoring twice in the first 20 minutes on the way to a 3-0 win over the relegation-threatened side.
Paulo Dybala fired Juventus ahead after six minutes with a shot from the edge of the penalty area and the defender Leonardo Bonucci, returning from injury, added the second 11 minutes later.
Cristiano Ronaldo got on the scoresheet with his 19th league goal of the season when he swept home Mario Mandzukic’s pass in the 63rd minute.
Juventus, who visit Atlético Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday, went 14 points clear of second-placed Napoli as they chase an eighth successive title.
Nabil Fekir earned Lyon a 2-1 home win against Guingamp as they cemented third place in Ligue 1 before their Champions League clash against Barcelona.
Fekir struck in the 35th minute, after Felix Eboa Eboa had cancelled out Martin Terrier’s opener, to put Lyon on 46 points from 25 games.
Lyon, who host Barcelona in their Champions League last-16 first leg on Tuesday, trail second-placed Lille by three points having played one more game.
Paris St Germain, leaders on 59 points from 22 games, travel to fourth-placed St Etienne on Sunday.
