Kingsley Coman has once again been called up by France boss Didier Deschamps for the upcoming World Cup qualifying matches this month after the winger left Bayern Munich in the summer to join Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr. The 29-year-old has defended the coach's decision to keep him in the squad, claiming he is just as good as he was when called up as an injury replacement in September.

Kingsley Coman’s sudden exit from Bayern Munich after years of loyalty shocked fans and raised questions inside the club. The French winger has now broken his silence revealing that not everyone in Munich wanted him to stay, despite manager Vincent Kompany’s support. His move to Al-Nassr was the result of a fractured Bayern board and financial strain behind the scenes.

Joao Felix starred on his Saudi Pro League debut for Al-Nassr, scoring a hat-trick in a resounding win 5-0 over Al-Taawoun.

Kingsley Coman has faced criticism for his decision to sign a lucrative contract at Al-Nassr, but a former Arsenal and France player has defended him.

Kingsley Coman’s Bayern Munich exit is set to be finalised in a €30 million Al-Nassr move after the Germans initially considered blocking the sale.
