Bayern Munich team news: Latest on Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry | OneFootball

Bayern Munich will face Bodo/Glimt in their first Champions League game of the new campaign on Thursday night at the Allianz Arena.

The Bavarian giants are loaded with top-class attacking talent, but they can become even stronger with Jamal Musiala returning to full fitness.

Ahead of the match, here is the latest injury update on Bayern Munich’s players.

Jamal Musiala: What are Bayern Munich planning to do?

Back in August, during pre-season, Musiala complained of dizziness and circulatory problems before collapsing on the pitch.

In July, Musiala underwent a minor, planned operation after returning from the World Cup. The club removed the metal plate from his foot, and it was expected that he would be able to play without any pain.

After missing the opening three games, including the clash against Borussia Dortmund, the attacking midfielder played the final 33 minutes of the match against Schalke.

Christian Falk has told CFBayern: “He already received more playing time than expected against Schalke. The reason: Kompany sees him performing better than ever in training. The most important news: He is currently free of seizures!”

That is indeed great news for all Bayern fans, as they want to see Musiala return to his best. It is now up to Vincent Kompany to manage his workload carefully.

Musiala, meanwhile, has started playing golf in order to clear his head.

Serge Gnabry: Back in training

Another piece of good news from the Bayern camp is that Serge Gnabry has participated in full training and is expected to be back in the squad against Bodo/Glimt.

The German winger took part in all of the exercises on Wednesday, and his return to action solves a number of problems, as he can also operate in the number 10 role.

Having an experienced option like Gnabry back available will be a major boost, and the German giants will be looking to mount a serious challenge for both the Bundesliga and Champions League titles this season.

With Gnabry now back, Bayern have no major injury concerns, meaning Kompany has a largely clean bill of health heading into their Champions League opener.
