Ankle causes problems: Bayern star Musiala could be out for weeks | OneFootball

FC Bayern will have to do without Jamal Musiala for the time being in the final sprint of the season. The attacking star is still struggling with problems in his left ankle – a quick return is currently not in sight

In the convincing 6:1 win against Atalanta Bergamo in the Champions League, the 23-year-old had to be substituted shortly before the end of the game. It was clear shortly afterwards that Musiala would be missing for Munich for the time being

Officially, Bayern are not talking about a classic injury, but rather a pain reaction in the ankle. However, it is precisely the same joint that was affected when he broke his fibula in the summer of 2025

Caution instead of risk: comeback in April at the earliest

Those responsible have not yet communicated how long Musiala will be out for, but one thing is clear: a quick return is extremely unlikely

The international already had to miss the 1-1 draw in Leverkusen and will also be unavailable for the Champions League second leg against Bergamo and the upcoming Bundesliga clash against Union Berlin

According to Sky, a comeback is not realistic until after the international break at the beginning of April at the earliest. „Patience and caution are still required with Jamal Musiala,“ emphasized Sky reporter Kerry Hau

Bayern obviously don’t want to take any risks with the attacking player – also due to his history with his ankle, according to Hau

It is also currently unclear whether Musiala will be nominated for the upcoming international matches of the German national team. At the end of March, the DFB team will face Switzerland (27 March) and Ghana (30 March). Whether Musiala will be able to take part will be decided in the coming days in close consultation between FC Bayern and the DFB

However, one thing is clear: a full recovery is the top priority for the record champions – especially in view of the decisive phase of the season.
