Bayern Confirm Stanisic Ankle Injury as Musiala Nears Managed Return

The club is prioritizing phased returns to protect long‑term fitness during a dense January run.

Overview

  • Josip Stanisic sustained a capsular‑ligament injury to his right ankle in the 8–1 win over Wolfsburg and is out for now.
  • Bayern said Stanisic will miss the upcoming matches against 1. FC Köln on Wednesday and RB Leipzig on Saturday, with no timeline given beyond that.
  • Max Eberl said Jamal Musiala is close to rejoining fully but is not expected to contribute significantly in January as Bayern target full readiness for February and March.
  • Alphonso Davies is being reintegrated cautiously following a cruciate‑ligament injury as Vincent Kompany and the medical staff maintain a gradual plan.
  • Joshua Kimmich indicated he is unlikely to play in Cologne as he continues to address ankle issues, with six fixtures still to navigate this month.
