Musiala Poised for Bayern Return at Leipzig After Seven Months Out

Kompany signals a careful reintroduction with no expectation of instant impact.

Overview

  • Vincent Kompany said Musiala could be named in Saturday’s squad at RB Leipzig if final training checks go well.
  • The 22-year-old has missed nearly seven months after a fibula fracture and a broken, dislocated ankle suffered in a July collision with PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma at the Club World Cup.
  • Kompany stressed that Musiala and the fit-again Alphonso Davies will be eased back and are not being asked to decide games immediately.
  • Bayern lead the Bundesliga after a record first half, reaching 47 points with a +53 goal difference and 66 goals from 17 matches.
  • Bayern face Leipzig on Saturday before hosting Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League on Wednesday, informing a measured plan for Musiala’s minutes.
