Bayern Munich ace Franck Ribery is furious with coach Niko Kovac.

Liverpool are in Bavaria to face the German champions at the Allianz Arena, with their Champions League tie delicately poised.

Bayern put in a pragmatic first leg display at Anfield to return home with the scoreline 0-0 on aggregate.

BILD says Kovac is hoping to start young winger Kingsley Coman on Wednesday night, rather than Ribery.

A conversation has been had between coach and player, regarding him dropping out of the starting lineup - a conversation that reportedly left Ribery furious.

It's claimed Kovac told him that he may well find himself starting on the bench.
