Bayern Munich have been boosted by the return to fitness of key pair Kingsley Coman and Jerome Boateng ahead of their Champions League clash with Barcelona.

Coman missed the last 16 second leg win over Chelsea with a muscle problem, but as per reports from Marca, he played a full role in their first training session in Lisbon.

Boateng was taken off against Frank Lampard’s side with a thigh injury, and despite training alone in Portugal, he is expected to be fit in time to start against Quique Setien’s side.
