Bayern injury woes deepen as Musiala ruled out of Inter Milan clash | OneFootball

Jamal Musiala is the latest player to join Bayern Munich’s growing injury list after suffering a hamstring issue in the 3-1 win against Augsburg.

The German playmaker limped off the field at the start of the second half, having scored the equaliser before half-time.

Bayern sporting director Max Eberl admitted after the game that the injury doesn’t look good, and Musiala will miss the Champions League quarter-final first-leg against Inter Milan next week.

With Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, Hiroki Ito, Manuel Neuer, and Kingsley Coman already sidelined, Musiala’s injury further depletes manager Vincent Kompany’s options.

Bayern will be anxious over the extent of Musiala’s injury due to his utmost significance to the team.

The 22-year-old has been in terrific form this season, instrumental in Bayern’s hunt for the Bundesliga and Champions League trophies.

He has racked up 18 goals and eight assists in all competitions.

The victory over Augsburg extended Bayern’s lead over Bayer Leverkusen to nine points at the top of the table. Leverkusen face Heidenheim on Saturday.

The attacking onus will completely rest on Harry Kane and Michael Olise, heading into the vital Champions League fixture against Inter.

With Musiala out, Kompany will rely on Thomas Muller and Leroy Sane in the number ten role.

Sane has been in impressive form lately, making seven goal involvements in the last eight league games.

Muller will look to show his experience and class amid reports that he could leave Bayern at the end of the season.
