"He doesn't have much time left" – Nagelsmann on Musiala's injury problems

Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala was left out of Germany's squad for the upcoming friendlies against Switzerland and Ghana due to ankle problems.

Speaking on Musiala's injury problems at a press conference on Thursday, Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann acknowledged that the 23-year-old is racing against time to be fully fit for the World Cup.

“He doesn’t have much time left. That’s unquestionable,” Nagelsmann said.

“Jamal, like everyone else, has to be at 100 percent if he wants to play.”

Despite the setback, Nagelsmann remains cautiously optimistic about Musiala being fully fit in time for the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

“I believe he can reach 100 percent. He still has eight weeks,” the coach stressed.

After suffering a serious ankle injury during last summer's Club World Cup, Musiala made his return to action for FC Bayern in January.
