"Being injured for a long time isn't easy" – Wirtz on Musiala's recovery | OneFootball

Florian Wirtz has often shone in partnership with Jamal Musiala for Germany, but he currently has to manage without the Bayern Munich star, who is sidelined with ankle problems.

After scoring two goals and providing two assists in Germany’s 4-3 win over Switzerland, the Liverpool attacker was asked about Musiala’s absence and expressed hope of having the 23-year-old back in time for the World Cup.

“Of course, I hope he’s back to 100 percent soon, for his own sake as well,” Wirtz told reporters.

“I know that being injured for a long time isn’t easy. You just want to get back on the pitch, play without problems, and of course he can help us a lot.”

While Musiala works on regaining full fitness, Wirtz is trying to support him from afar.

“I always try to ask how he’s doing and wish him all the best, and I hope he’s back to 100 percent soon.”
