"Musiala has been out of action since sustaining a serious fibula and ankle injury during the FIFA Club World Cup against Paris Saint-Germain this summer following a collision with Gianluigi Donnarumma, who now plays for Manchester City. While Vincent Kompany is eager to have Musiala back in the fold, the club wants to do everything they can to not rush him back too soon and avoid risking a major injury setback, as has unfortunately happened with players like Manuel Neuer several times in the past."
"Per information from Bild (via @iMiaSanMia), Musiala has made further progress in his recovery and road to full fitness earlier this week. He's already been able to do some running on the pitch as a part of gradual progressive load to get his surrounding muscles to strengthen back up, but his was able to do some shooting drills this week for the first time since he sustained his injury."
"As things currently stand, even with this milestone in his road back to full fitness, the plan is to welcome Musiala back to full team training in January after the winter break period in the Bundesliga. Bayern's first match in the year is on the 11th against VfL Wolfsburg, which could very well be the first time this season that Musiala is in the squad."
Jamal Musiala suffered a serious fibula and ankle injury at the FIFA Club World Cup after a collision with Gianluigi Donnarumma and has been sidelined since. Bayern Munich have continued to perform offensively without Musiala, and Alphonso Davies' comeback is also eagerly anticipated. The club is prioritizing caution to avoid rushing Musiala back and risking a major setback, citing past re-injury examples. Musiala advanced this week to running, shooting, dribbling, and ball-control drills as part of progressive load work to rebuild surrounding muscle strength. The current plan targets a return to full team training in January after the winter break, with the first post-break match on January 11 against VfL Wolfsburg.
