Kingsley Coman undergoes heart surgery

France International Kingsley Coman has reportedly undergone heart surgery after suffering from shortness of breath.

Kingsley’s manager Julian Nagelsmann announced the surgery today. 

The 25-year-old Bayern Munich winger is expected to be out of action for two weeks after receiving medical attention on heart arrhythmia.

"Kingsley Coman underwent surgery yesterday.

"His heartbeat rhythm had a slight disturbance with a minor added beat. At times he had a slight shortage of breath.

"That's why we opted for long-term ECG monitoring and went ahead with this procedure.

"He will be doing cardio training again on Tuesday and won't be out of action for any more than one and a half to two weeks." Bayern manager Nagelsmann told the press.

Arrhythmias occur when electrical signals that coordinate heartbeats don't work as they should.

Many arrhythmias are harmless but, if they are particularly abnormal or result from a weak or damaged heart, can be serious.

Coman has not been fitted with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) heart-starting device like Inter Milan star Christian Eriksen.

The Bayern ace is one of Europe's biggest footballers, scoring the winner in the 2020 Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.

He was part of France's squad for Euro 2016 and Euro 2020 and has already won ten league titles with PSG, Bayern and Juventus.
