Jamal Musiala continues to work toward his comeback. At FC Bayern, there now appears to be a concrete internal target for his return to the field.
At FC Bayern, plans for Jamal Musiala’s return are apparently becoming increasingly concrete. The 23-year-old continues to work on his comeback following a torn muscle fiber in his right thigh—and internally, the Munich club has apparently set a clear target.
According to information from Sport BILD, Musiala is expected to get his first minutes of playing time again no later than the next international break. The latest possible date is therefore the Bundesliga away game against 1. FSV Mainz 05 on November 7. The internal comeback schedule is apparently currently focused precisely on this match.
Musiala was injured on September 24 while warming up before the Nations League match against the Netherlands and has been sidelined ever since. The star forward has since resumed rehabilitation training at Säbener Straße.
However, Bayern still does not want to take any unnecessary risks with one of its key players. This has already been evident in recent weeks. Most recently, there had been speculation about a possible return against Magdeburg or Borussia Dortmund. However, these earlier options have since been pushed back further.
Mainz appears to be the latest target date.
New information from Sport BILD now clarifies the timeline significantly. Internally, the goal is reportedly to get Musiala back on the field before the international break—if necessary, as early as the away game in Mainz.
This means that, theoretically, an earlier return remains possible. The key factors will be how Musiala responds to the increasing workload and when he can fully rejoin team training. Only then is a decision likely to be made regarding his first spot on the roster and potential playing time.

});
})();
For FC Bayern, the national team player’s return would be hugely important from a sporting perspective. Musiala is one of the most creative players on the roster and could provide the offense with additional options, particularly in the center. Given the packed schedule—with the Bundesliga, DFB Cup, and Champions League—his comeback would also come at a crucial time.
Nevertheless, the Munich club continues to take a cautious approach with Musiala. After several health setbacks in recent months, the 23-year-old will not be brought back into the lineup until he is fully fit.
