Bold claim from Magath: Musiala’s return could harm Bayern | OneFootball

FC Bayern is eagerly anticipating the comeback of Jamal Musiala to further enhance its recently successful star ensemble. Amid the excitement surrounding the return of the skilled technician, former Bayern coach Felix Magath is urging caution.

About four months after Jamal Musiala dislocated his ankle and broke his left fibula during FC Bayern's exit from the Club World Cup against Paris Saint-Germain, a return to the pitch is in sight.

It's hard to imagine what the in-form star offensive of the record champions could achieve if Musiala were to join record goal scorer Harry Kane and others.

Would Bayern then be unbeatable? Bundesliga legend and former Bayern coach Felix Magath expressed skepticism on Sky: “I could imagine that it might become somewhat problematic. At the moment, everything is right with Bayern, but when everything is right, I don’t change anything,” said the 72-year-old.

Due to the “important role” of playmaker Musiala, the “dynamics of the game” could change—with possible impacts on one of the world's current best goal scorers: “A Harry Kane might have to push more into the forward position again, even though he currently likes to drop back, come from midfield, and roam everywhere. With the return, he might not be as involved as he is at the moment,” Magath pointed out.

Recently, Kane has not only impressed with an outstanding 26 goals in 22 matches but also with resolute defensive actions and occasionally taking on the role of a playmaker.

The exact comeback date for Musiala is not yet set, but the 22-year-old is training regularly on the field again and could join the team in the coming weeks. Whether this will become a problem for coach Vincent Kompany or if Magath’s concerns will dissipate remains to be seen.
