But the Bayern Munich boss has revealed that neither of the attacking duo will face any action from the club. Lewandowski, 30, and Coman, 22, argued and traded blows at Sabener Strasse during a training exercise. Polish striker Lewandowski initially let rip at French teammate Coman for not taking the session seriously. Things soon became heated when Coman took exception to his comment, with the winger striking the No.9, who responded with a punch of his own. (Image: PA) Defensive pair Niklas Sule and Jerome Boating initially separated the pair, but others were forced to step in when they came together again. Both finished the session, before heading to Kovac’s office with the Croatian immediately after for discussions over the incident. "There was a fight between two players who were named in the media," Kovac said at his Friday press conference. (Image: PA) "The three of us discussed it after training, and both apologised for their behaviour and were sorry for what happened. "No one is being fined because both players were understanding, and being understanding is very important now. The matter is done and dusted." Asked the reason for the incident, Kovac added: "Training, emotions! But you can also see it in a positive fashion. We move on.” (Image: 2019 Getty Images) Bayern currently top the Bundesliga, with just six games of the season to go, having battered Borussia Dortmund 5-0 last weekend. But questions continue to surround the relationship of Lewandowski and Coman, amid suggestions that this incident had been coming due on-field issues between the pair. On Sunday Bayern head to Dusseldorf to face Fortuna, against whom they dropped points at the Allianz Arena back in November, as they look to move closer to a seventh successive German title.<doc-sep>'Bild' reports that in the midst of training, Lewandowski began to criticize Coman, and shortly after, what had begun as an argument degenerated into a fight. Niclas Süle and Jerome Boateng, according to the same source, were the first to try to separate the two strikers, but they did not manage it alone and needed the help of virtually the entire team. Stand out news After the fight, coach Niko Kovac opted to continue training, with Coman and Lewandowski on the field, according to the newspapers cited. Bayern did not want to comment on the matter, as the German team has been hit with it's fair share of controversy lately. So much so that 'ESPN' said the dressing room is fed up with Niko Kovac. A position that could lead to the dismissal at the end of the season of the coach, who has been very questioned during the season. He is close to the Bundesliga title, but maybe even that won't hold him up.<doc-sep>The fallout of the “fight” between Robert Lewandowski and Kingsley Coman certainly has the media up in frenzy. Bild has now published their own insider info, claiming that the two players openly aired their grievances about each other in front of the rest of the Bayern Munich squad. According to the report, the two had never expressed complaints about each other before, but the situation apparently came to a head in training yesterday. Lewandowski feels that Coman dribbles excessively on the wings and does not provide him with adequate support. The Polish striker was especially upset after Bayern’s devastating 1-3 loss against Bayer Leverkusen in February. Coman attempted multiple dribbles outside but failed to deliver solid passes to the center. In our own match awards (BFW gave Coman a “golf clap” for his efforts), Berni15 wrote, The Leverkusen defense were bereft of ideas to contain the winger, but, unfortunately, he did not make them pay. Coman was dispossessed four times, in addition to a handful of poor crosses, leaving much to be desired in terms of end product. Coman, meanwhile, sees it the other way around. He allegedly feels that Lewandowski is the egoist, only concerned with his own goals, and he finds Lewy’s behavior on the pitch far too diva-like. Where does that leave Bayern? Honestly, if these reports are true (and they’re from Bild, so don’t hold your breath), it’s nothing that can’t be fixed with a few apologies and a handshake. Training bust-ups happen all the time, but these people are professionals and they’ll figure it out. It’s their job.<doc-sep>Lewandowski and Coman involved in fist-fight at Bayern Munich's training session Bundesliga Sule and Boateng pulled them apart Bayern Munich players Robert Lewandowski and Kingsley Coman were involved in a fist-fight during a behind-closed-doors training session on Thursday morning. It is thought that an argument between the two quickly escalated and they had to be separated. Lewandowski allegedly chastised Coman during a training exercise and the exchange of words quickly escalated, with the two players having to be separated by defenders Niklas Sule and Jerome Boateng, Bild reported. The title of Bild's article: Fight at Bayern's training session Sule and Boateng were not the only players to try and step in to help as much of the team had to break the Pole and Frenchman apart. After the fight, Niko Kovac opted to continue with the training session, with both Lewandowski and Coman on the pitch, according to Bild and the Munich tabloid Tz. Bayern did not want to comment on the issue. The title of Tz's article: Blows to the face: Lewandowski and Coman fight<doc-sep>

Just in case you were wondering whether Bild made a big deal out of the Lewandowski and Coman fight... pic.twitter.com/EANJWSRw4S - Sport Witness (@Sport_Witness) April 12, 2019 The Polish striker is said to have grown frustrated and angry with the Frenchman this season for not passing to him enough this season - specifically in the defeat against Leverkusen back in February. Advert 10 Robert Lewandowski has long been annoyed by the style of play of Coman. The reason: Too many dribbles, too few successful passes & crosses to the striker. Especially in the defeat against Leverkusen, Lewandowski was very angry at Coman as he barely passed him the ball.
