Munich's "Bayern" forward Kingsley Coman is considered one of the most promising players on the planet, but his career is constantly being hindered by serious injuries.
This season, he played only three matches in the Bundesliga team, while before that, in the past two years, he played only 21 and 19 matches, respectively.
"These years have been very difficult. When I get injured, it feels like the end of the world," Coman told TF1.
"I hope that the thoughts that keep coming to my head - that this is everything and it's enough - won't come true. I won't agree to undergo surgery for the third time, that might mean that the leg is not suitable for this level.
"Then I would dive into another life, which would no longer be public," Coman, 22, said.
