Bayern Munich expects Jamal Musiala to return to the squad for the Bundesliga match against RB Leipzig after six months out with a broken left leg and a dislocated ankle. The injury occurred during a Club World Cup quarter-final collision with Paris St-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in early July. Musiala has been absent since that incident. He scored 21 goals and provided eight assists in 2024-25 as Bayern won the Bundesliga and scored three goals in five games for Germany at Euro 2024. Alphonso Davies is also fit again after a cruciate ligament tear. Management plans a cautious reintegration without expecting immediate match-winning performances, aiming for gradual progression to full fitness.
""If all goes well today, the plan is that he will be there," Kompany said on Friday. "Obviously Jamal has a lot of positive energy coming out of this dark tunnel. "Then, even the small things feel great. I tell my players to never forget this feeling of coming back.""
"Attacking midfielder Musiala enjoyed a successful 2024-25 campaign before injury struck, scoring 21 goals and registering eight assists across all competitions as Bayern won the Bundesliga title."
"The 22-year-old Germany international sustained his injury, also dislocating an ankle, during Bayern's Club World Cup match against Paris St-Germain in early July last year. Musiala collided with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the quarter-final and has been absent from the squad ever since."
