Musiala comeback at Bayern: Timetable becomes more concrete | OneFootball

FC Bayern’s timetable for Jamal Musiala’s comeback is becoming more and more concrete. After his long injury lay-off, the Munich club are deliberately not taking any risks with their attacking star – the return is to take place in a controlled manner and in clearly defined steps

According to Sport BILD, Musiala will be carefully introduced to full training in order to avoid possible setbacks. The plan is for the 22-year-old to return to full team training in January. The next step – if everything goes according to plan – will be his first short appearances in competitive matches towards the end of the month. The time, intensity and load will be gradually increased in order to give the body sufficient time to adapt

Musiala himself has a clear goal: he wants to be back in top form at the start of the knockout phase of the Champions League and play a decisive role in Bayern’s game by then. The coming weeks will therefore be a build-up phase in which the focus will be less on a quick comeback and more on a sustainable return

FC Bayern relies on patience with Musiala

It was already clear at the start of the year that Musiala would leave nothing to chance. He completed individual sessions before the team’s official start of training in order to make up for the training deficit following his long break. However, head coach Vincent Kompany had recently urged patience and emphasized that the playmaker must be given the necessary time to get back to 100 per cent

This is exactly the approach FC Bayern are taking. Instead of a hasty comeback, Musiala is to be built up step by step – with a clear focus on the decisive phase of the season in the spring. If everything goes according to plan, the attacking star could make his first mark again at the end of January and become a central figure in Bayern’s game again in time for the Champions League knockout round.
