Bayern Map Out Cautious Musiala Return as Eberl Says 'End Is in Sight'

Strong recent form allows the club to resist rushing the 22-year-old back.

Overview

  • Sporting director Max Eberl signaled progress, saying the end of Jamal Musiala’s recovery is in sight, with the club eyeing minutes in December and full involvement in January if all goes well.
  • Despite the optimistic outlook, Bayern has not set a concrete comeback date and stresses a sustainable reintegration with full sharpness targeted for the spring run-in.
  • Musiala remains in individual rehab after dislocating his ankle and fracturing his left fibula in July against PSG, and he has been building back up since returning to running in late October.
  • WELT reports he is up to 90% body-weight load on an anti-gravity treadmill, and winter training camp is viewed as a possible point for rejoining full team sessions.
  • As Bayern continues to perform strongly under Vincent Kompany, Philipp Lahm cautioned that fitting a high-profile No. 10 back into a settled lineup could test the team’s clarity; Musiala is contracted through 2030 and is among the club’s top earners.
