Davies, Musiala and Urbig injured: Bitter evening despite Bayern gala | OneFootball

FC Bayern put down a clear marker in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. Vincent Kompany’s side won 6-1 away at Atalanta Bergamo to put themselves in an almost perfect position for the second leg in Munich. However, the convincing performance was overshadowed by several injuries

Three Bayern players – Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala and Jonas Urbig – had to leave the pitch or receive treatment during the match. The clear victory in Italy therefore leaves a lot to worry about

The evening was particularly bitter for Alphonso Davies, who had actually celebrated his comeback in Bergamo after having to take several weeks off due to a torn muscle fibre

Davies was substituted at half-time, but was only able to play for around 30 minutes. After a tackle, the left-back immediately signalled that he would not be able to continue. Shortly afterwards, the 25-year-old had to be substituted, visibly emotional and in tears

It is still unclear how serious the injury is, but if the suspicion of a new muscle injury is confirmed, it would be a serious setback for the German record champions

Musiala scores – and still has to come off

The next shock for Munich followed shortly before the final whistle: Jamal Musiala also had to come off injured

The attacking player had been substituted after the break and crowned his strong performance with a goal to make it 6:0 at the interval. However, Musiala repeatedly grabbed his left ankle in the closing stages and was visibly limping around the pitch

As Bayern had already exhausted their quota of substitutions, they had to finish the game short-handed

Urbig dazed after hit to the head

Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig was not without injuries either. When Atalanta conceded a late goal to make it 1:6 through Mario Pasalic, there was a collision in which the 22-year-old received a blow to the head

Urbig looked visibly dazed afterwards

In sporting terms, the evening was a resounding success for FC Bayern, who created an excellent starting position for the second leg in the Allianz Arena with their clear away win

However, the gala performance could be overshadowed by injury worries. The club are now hoping that Davies and Musiala in particular will be given the all-clear quickly – because FC Bayern can hardly do without its key players in the decisive phase of the season.
