Bayern stars set for return: Musiala, Davies and Ito making progress | OneFootball

The international break brings some calm to Säbener Straße. However, intensive work is being done in the background: Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, and Hiroki Ito are gradually approaching their comeback – and could be available again in November.

According to information from BILD, the recovery of the trio is proceeding as planned so far. All three professionals are training under the supervision of Benjamin Sommer, the new rehab manager who moved from Eintracht Frankfurt to Munich in the summer.

Davies, who suffered a cruciate ligament tear in March, and Ito, who has been sidelined since spring with a metatarsal fracture, performed ball exercises for the first time on Tuesday. Additionally, light running sessions were on the agenda. The goal is to gradually increase the load without risking setbacks.

The coordination between the rehab team and the medical department plays a central role. With targeted load management, Bayern aims to ensure that both defensive players can be integrated into training operations in a timely manner.

Jamal Musiala is also making progress. The offensive star is currently dealing with an ankle injury that has sidelined him for weeks. The 22-year-old continues to work in the Performance Center, focusing mainly on stability and load management.

As early as August, Sports Director Max Eberl emphasized: "The process is positive for both. Step by step – that is the motto, especially with such severe injuries." With regard to Musiala and Davies, he said at the time: "We hope that both will be available again by the end of the year."

The latest developments now suggest that it could even be as early as November. Musiala himself recently emphasized that he is aiming for a comeback in the calendar year 2025.

Hopefuls for Kompany

For coach Vincent Kompany, the returnees would be an important signal. Recently, the Belgian had to improvise in defense, and Musiala was sorely missed as a creative player in the offensive area.

If the trio returns as planned this year, the record champion would have new options available just in time for the decisive weeks in the Bundesliga and Champions League.
