"Learning a lot": Musiala sees positives in his Bayern injury | OneFootball

Jamal Musiala checks in from rehab—with a surprisingly optimistic message. The attacking player explains what the enforced break has taught him.

Musiala is currently working individually on his comeback after suffering a fibula fracture and a dislocated ankle at the Club World Cup in the USA. Speaking to fcbayern.com, the number 10 describes how rehab is shaping him mentally: “I think you learn a lot during an injury. For example, I see how much fun you usually have and how much I love football. And you have time to calmly look at what you can improve. On the pitch you don’t have that time to think about everything. And of course I want to come back even better,” said the 22-year-old.

In Munich, the national team player is following his program—often side by side with Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito, who are also working on their comebacks. The close exchange also helps mentally. Davies had already emphasized the mutual push in everyday life: “We see each other every day and try to keep each other motivated. It helps when you have good people around you.”

Musiala: “I want to be part of it”

Away from the sessions, music keeps the mood high in the weights room, while at home Musiala seeks calm, the midfielder told the club’s internal media. “I’ve been with my family almost all the time since the injury. They’ve helped me a lot—also to switch off a bit from everything,” he says. In between, the technician picks up the console—and cheers along as the team stormed into the season with ten wins from ten competitive matches.

The attacker wants to be part of this run again as soon as possible—and is deliberately setting the bar high. “You can see how well we’re playing right now, how much fun everyone is having. I want to be part of it and be back on the pitch—also with Phonzy. After our injuries we want to have fun and make sure we win a lot as a team,” Musiala explains. Back in September, he told Sport Bild he wanted to play competitive matches for FC Bayern again in 2025.
