A suspension of FC Bayern star Kingsley Coman raised questions before the Supercup at RB Leipzig.

As confirmed by the DFB, the Frenchman can now play on Saturday despite the measure.

Munich – On Saturday, FC Bayern will have their first mandatory date after the eventful preparation.

In Leipzig, the Munich team play as German champions against the DFB Cup winners RB Leipzig for the German Supercup.

Due to a lengthy ban on attacking player Kingsley Coman from the previous season, the situation was unclear in view of the upcoming game.

The DFB has now commented and gave the green light for the Frenchman to play.

FC Bayern professional Kingsley Coman received a hefty penalty shortly before the end of the season

It was May 8, in the last home game of the season against VfB Stuttgart, when Kingsley Coman slipped up.

In the fifth minute of stoppage time, the 26-year-old threw his arm out at his opponent Konstantinos Mavropanos and hit him in the face when the score was 2-2.

Coman was dismissed for the assault with a straight red, and that immediately before the final whistle and the presentation of the championship trophy in front of his own fans.

The action had consequences, the DFB sports court banned him for three competitive games.

The statement from May literally said that Coman had been “suspended for three competitive games (championship and/or DFB Cup games)”.

"In addition, the player is also banned from all other competitive matches for his club until the ban expires," it said.

Good news for FC Bayern: Coman is allowed to play in the Supercup in Leipzig

Since the Supercup is also considered a competitive game, the situation regarding the game at the weekend was still open.

On Wednesday, however, there was good news for Munich when a spokesman for the DFB confirmed that the 2020 Champions League final scorer could still play a part.

Due to the verdict, the ban applies to championship and DFB Cup games until it expires.

Bayern can now fall back on the French international, at least temporarily.

On the first two Bundesliga matchdays he has to serve out his two remaining games, on the last matchday of the past season he had already missed the first game against VfL Wolfsburg.

As a result, the record champions will miss the league opener in Frankfurt on August 5 and the first home game against Wolfsburg.

The DFB-Pokal does not play a role here, as the first round of the cup for Bayern this season is only due after the 4th Bundesliga matchday.

Coman's compatriot, new signing Mathys Tel, could already make his debut in one of those games.
