Overview
- The incident happened on Saturday when Jamal Musiala went down about 15 minutes after coming on as a substitute and after scoring in Bayern’s friendly with RB Leipzig.
- Medical staff from both teams treated Musiala on the pitch, a doctor signalled improvement, and he was able to stand, walk off and be substituted in the 88th minute.
- Bayern sporting director Max Eberl said the most important thing is that Musiala is fine, but the club has not released a specific medical diagnosis and will continue to monitor him.
- In the days after the match Musiala did not rejoin group training but completed a supervised 30-minute individual session as part of a conservative, staged return to fitness.
- The episode has resurged concern because Musiala spent much of 2025 recovering from a fractured fibula and complex ankle damage, which explains Bayern’s cautious workload management and could affect his availability for early competitive fixtures.
