“The end is in sight”: Eberl signals return of injured Bayern stars | OneFootball

Relief at FC Bayern: Ahead of the Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, sports director Max Eberl has announced good news for all Bayern fans. Several long-term injured players are on the verge of their return – especially Jamal Musiala.

The national player was seriously injured in early July during the Club World Cup quarter-final against PSG. The diagnosis: ankle dislocation and fibula fracture. The skilled technician had to pause for months. Now it looks like the 22-year-old could return to the field this year.

“It was dramatic what happened, especially for Jamal,” Eberl explained before departing for Paris. “But the good thing is that he is feeling much better and can already move on the field again. For an athlete, that's the most important thing – to smell the grass, to feel the ball.”

Eberl confirmed that the club's schedule remains unchanged: “We hope that by December he can at least have a few minutes with the team. That would be the ideal situation. He is doing very, very well – the end is in sight.”

This suggests that Musiala could make his comeback before the winter break.

Alongside Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito are also on a good path. The Japanese player, who suffered another metatarsal fracture at the end of March, is close to returning to team training. “Ito is the first to start with the team again. After the international break, he should be able to play again,” said Eberl.

For Davies, who tore his cruciate ligament in March, a bit more patience is required – even though the left-back is already eager to get back to the ball. “Things look good for him too. But we have to hold him back so it's not too soon,” Eberl said with a smile.

After weeks without several key players, relief is in sight. Musiala, Ito, and Davies are to be gradually reintegrated into the team – just in time for the crucial phase of the season.

Eberl remains optimistic: “All three are fully on schedule. The most important thing is that they return healthy. Then they will help us – and that will be soon.”
