Kingsley Coman has been declared fit for the clash against Liverpool despite receiving a knock in Bayern Munich’s 3-2 win at Augsburg in the Bundesliga.

Whereas veteran winger Arjen Robben who is yet to play for the Bavarian giants since late November, couldn’t recover on time to join the team.

Kovac will hold a news conference in Liverpool on Monday afternoon to preview Tuesday's game - the first between these two teams since 1981 - this afternoon after 4pm.
