The French international suffered his second injury in as many Bundesliga games and left the field in the middle of the second period.
Kingsley Coman was forced to leave the field after a tear in the thigh during the Bayern Munich match against Hertha Berlin on Saturday, just minutes after his replacement.
The French international took the 1-0 win against the Bundesliga champions in the second half, as he tried to defeat back side Hertha Valentino Lazaro.
The defender apparently did not seem to come into contact with Coman and Kovac told the media after the match that they should wait for tests to know the seriousness of the injury.

"Kingsley Coman will not be available for Bayern Munich at the moment," reads a statement from the club. "The French winger had a muscle tear in the left back thigh this Saturday afternoon during the Bundesliga home match against Hertha
"This is the result of testing by Bayern medical staff."
Coman's first clash with Augsburg eight days ago worried him for the Champions League game against Liverpool on Tuesday, but the 22-year-old has recovered enough to start the first leg at Anfield before replaced in the last 10 minutes by Frank Ribery.
The French winger has suffered recurring injuries to the same ankle in the last 12 months with the Bundesliga champions.
He had to undergo surgery for last season's injury, which eventually dismissed France for the 2018 World Cup, as well as a large part of Bayern's title season. .
Back to start the Bundesliga season, Coman suffered the same injury at the league's opening match this year, requiring further surgery and putting him out until December.
He had previously said in December that he would consider retiring if his ankle problems persisted, although Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has since publicly discouraged him from considering this option. .
Against Hertha, Javier Martinez's goal in the 63rd minute was enough to seal a nervous victory and match last season's champion's level with league leader Borussia Dortmund.
