A comeback in the Cup? Here’s the latest on Bayern’s problem child, Musiala | OneFootball

Following the match against VfB Stuttgart to kick off the new Bundesliga season (5-1), FC Bayern is preparing for its Cup match against VfL Osnabrück. Several player-related issues are in the spotlight.

Overall, it seems encouraging that the players who saw action against VfB came through the match unscathed. According toSky, Jamal Musiala—whose medication is being adjusted following his two collapses on the field—is once again training at full capacity, just as he was shortly before the match against Stuttgart.

In Munich, the plan is to continue carefully building up the attacking player and then bring him back into the squad once he is fully ready.

Musiala: Likely not yet ready to play in Osnabrück

Ahead of Friday’s match against Stuttgart, officials from the record champions announced that he is not quite ready for the squad yet. That at least raised hopes for a possible appearance in the cup.

However, that appears unlikely. According to Kerry Hau, Musiala is unlikely to travel to the game in Osnabrück on Wednesday; his rehabilitation in training continues. What this means for the match at Schalke this weekend will become clear as the training week progresses.

The current situation is not entirely easy to manage, because after the recent adjustment to his medication to prevent further seizures, everything must first settle in and the risk must be reduced to a minimum. The fact that he can complete training sessions without any problems is a first positive sign for FC Bayern and the player himself.

The constant updates may be frustrating, but there isn’t much more Bayern Munich can do. The club is in constant communication with the player and the medical staff. What’s important is that he returns to the field not only as soon as possible, but also with as little risk as possible.
