Ancelotti: Bayern will not sign Coman replacement

Although the injury to the France international is a setback to the German champions, the Italian boss says he is in no hurry to replace him
Bayern Munich head coach Carlo Ancelotti has no plans to enter the transfer market to sign a replacement for Kingsley Coman despite the France international's ankle injury.

The winger has been ruled out for an "indefinite period of time" after being hurt during a training session on Wednesday.

However, Ancelotti believes the Bundesliga champions have enough strength in depth to cover for Coman's absence.

"I have always said that I do not need any more signings," Ancelotti said at a news conference.

"I am happy with the team I have.
"The players who are injured will be back in two to three weeks. We can wait for that.
"I hope Coman will be back after the international break. A few of the others are close to making their comeback."

Ancelotti also confirmed that he has spoken with Franck Ribery after the 33-year-old winger seemingly aimed an elbow into the face of Felix Passlack in Bayern's 2-0 DFL-Supercup win over Borussia Dortmund on Sunday.

"I have had a word with Franck," he added. "He understood perfectly well what I meant."
