The article discusses Bayern Munich's concerns about players prioritizing national duty over club fitness, particularly regarding Jamal Musiala's injury recovery. Although he won't return for the Bundesliga's conclusion, there is speculation about his participation in the FIFA Club World Cup versus the Nations League semifinals. Bayern's coach Vincent Kompany, along with board member Max Eberl, express support for players' desires to represent their country but emphasize the importance of players maintaining peak fitness. The ongoing rise of international tournaments leads to increasing injury concerns among elite players.
In the pre match press conference ahead of Bayern's final Bundesliga match against TSG Hoffenheim, head coach Vincent Kompany stated, "We always support our players. They have the mentality to always want to play. We need to look at things medically. It wasn't a simple injury."
Board member for sport Max Eberl said, "Players want to play for their country. We'll talk about what's best. But first and foremost is that the guys are fit and healthy."
