At FC Bayern, Jamal Musiala is making further progress on his way back from injury. After a long layoff, the attacking player has now rejoined team training. However, it’s still too early for him to return for the upcoming Bundesliga match. Bayern assistant coach Aaron Danks confirmed this on Friday.
“Most of the players trained yesterday. Jamal Musiala has also rejoined the group, which is very positive. But the game is coming too soon for him,” Danks explained at the press conference. This means Bayern fans will have to be patient a little longer before they can see the 22-year-old back on the field.
Musiala suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh while on DFB duty in late September and was subsequently sidelined for several weeks. Yesterday’s return to team training is now an important step. However, it’s not yet clear exactly when he’ll be a real option for the matchday roster again.
Díaz is also making progress
In addition to Musiala, Luis Díaz is also working toward his return. The Colombian suffered a muscle injury to the back of his left thigh and has been sidelined ever since. The winger already completed his first individual training session on Monday. Danks has now provided insight into the further plans for both attacking players.
“I think it’s difficult to pinpoint a specific game or date for their return. But next week they’ll be doing individual training sessions, and once the national team players return, they’ll be back in full team training,” explained the Bayern assistant coach.
Danks expressly declined to give a specific timeline for their return. “But there’s no deadline,” he clarified. For Musiala and Díaz, the priority for now is to successfully complete the next stages of training. FC Bayern apparently doesn’t want to take any unnecessary risks and intends to give both players the time they need to fully recover.
For Musiala, the return to team training is already a positive sign. However, it will likely still be a little while before he makes his competitive comeback.
