Bayern Munich boss to decide midfielder’s availability for Barcelona match on Wednesday | OneFootball

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany faces a crucial decision regarding Jamal Musiala’s availability for the upcoming  UEFA Champions League match against Barcelona.

According to a report from SPORT BILD, Kompany is expected to make this decision on Wednesday.

Recently, Musiala resumed training with his teammates after three weeks of absence, which is promising news for Bayern, although not as much for Barcelona.

Musiala’s fitness has been a significant concern for the squad. He has been dealing with discomfort in his hip, an issue that prevented him from joining the German national team during the recent international break.

Additionally, he missed two key matches for Bayern: one against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga and another against Stuttgart.

Despite these setbacks, Musiala is keen to get back on the pitch and make an impact in the against Barcelona. His determination to participate has driven him to train hard, hoping to be fit in time for the match.

However, it is important to understand that even though he is back in training, there is still uncertainty surrounding his ability to play. The final decision on whether he will take part in the game will likely be announced by Kompany during the pre-match press conference.

Meanwhile, in another blow for Bayern, they will be without Aleksandar Pavlovic for this vital encounter. Pavlovic recently underwent surgery following a broken collarbone sustained during the match against Stuttgart, further complicating Bayern’s preparations.

As the match approaches, Musiala’s fitness will be closely monitored. His return to full training is essential, not only for his personal ambitions but also for Bayern Munich’s overall strategy.

At the same time, his return to Bayern’s starting XI will pose a big threat for Barcelona
