Musiala set for return: Eberl reveals Bayern’s plan | OneFootball

Jamal Musiala continues to work meticulously on his return to the field. After his fibula fracture at the Club World Cup in July, the FC Bayern offensive artist has made significant progress. Now, for the first time, sports director Max Eberl has provided a specific timeline for the 22-year-old's comeback on Sky.

The record champions are currently racing from victory to victory even without Musiala – 14 competitive matches, 14 wins – but the anticipation for the return of the exceptional talent is immense. The national player is in rehabilitation training after his right fibula fracture and is working on his fitness daily.

Eberl reveals the timeline

In a conversation with Sky moderator Sebastian Hellmann before the Bundesliga match against Leverkusen, Eberl explained: “We think he can be back with the team in December and maybe get a few minutes, so that he can be 100 percent back in January.”

This indicates that FC Bayern expects Musiala to be back on the field this year. A return to the squad could occur in one of the last games before the winter break.

Four games as a possible comeback stage

According to Sky, Eberl's plan aligns with the internal considerations of Bayern's medical department. In December, matches against VfB Stuttgart, Sporting Lisbon, Mainz 05, and 1. FC Heidenheim await – Musiala is expected to get his first minutes after the injury in one of these games.

The record champions do not want to take any risks. Musiala is to be gradually brought up to competitive level, so that in the new year he can once again be the key player who has so often shaped Bayern's offense in the past.

A comeback in winter would not only be an emotional moment – it could also elevate Munich's already outstanding season run to an even higher level.
