The Frenchman also sustained a ruptured ankle capsule in his left leg.
Coman has barely featured under Bayern boss Carlo Ancelotti this season, with the Italian forced to deny the 20-year-old could leave the club.
He is currently on a two-year loan from Juventus. Bayern have the option of buying him in the summer for €21m.

There was some good news, though, for Bundesliga leaders Bayern who are chasing a record-extending fifth consecutive title.
Spain defender Javi Martinez has made a quicker recovery than expected and is set to return to training next week following the adductor muscle injury he sustained early last month.
"It is even possible he will be at the disposal of coach Carlo Ancelotti for the match at (Borussia) Dortmund on Nov. 19," Bayern said.
The Bavarians lead the Bundesliga on goal difference from promoted RB Leipzig after 10 games.
Bayern have also secured a spot in the Champions League knockout stage with two group matches to spare.
