The attacker sustained a serious injury in the summer of 2025.
Jamal Musiala is finally prepared to rejoin the Bayern Munich squad after a protracted absence, according to Vincent Kompany. After suffering a terrible injury that kept him out of action for six months, the German star is expected to play this weekend. The coach has described the playmaker’s difficult journey out of a “dark tunnel” and back into the first team.
For the Bayern supporters, the agonisingly long wait is finally over. Jamal Musiala is about to make his competitive comeback after seven months of recuperation, disappointments, and spectatorship.
The 22-year-old will be part of the matchday squad for this weekend’s Bundesliga match against RB Leipzig if the last training session goes according to plan. Head coach Kompany confirmed this during his pre-match news conference on Friday.
Jamal Musiala got injured in the summer of 2025
Since Jamal Musiala suffered a horrific injury during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup match against Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, his absence has caused a huge wound in the Bavarian giants’ team.
The squad lost one of its most powerful creative sparks when their talismanic “Bambi” got injured, although Bayern have been able to compete on all fronts. The comeback of the star attacker could now prove to be the decisive element in the title battle as the season moves into its crucial second phase.
“If everything goes well today, the plan is for him to be involved,” Kompany told reporters on Friday afternoon. “That’s nice for him and a good thing for us.”
Kompany did not downplay the psychological damage that Jamal Musiala has suffered over the past months. This extended hiatus was the first significant obstacle in his career. This is the same player who had hardly experienced hardship throughout his quick ascent from the Chelsea academy to the Bayern squad and the German national team.
