Bayern Munich stars Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies are working their way back from long-term injuries. Davies has made substitute appearances and Musiala is yet to see the field in this campaign, but
teammates have already welcomed him back to the training pitch.
The impact should be huge — as even one of Bayern’s most influential players, Harry Kane, will attest. The England captain even praised the young German international as the squad’s ‘best player’.
“It’s great that [Jamal] is back,” Kane shared in an end-of-the-year Sky Germany interview (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “Even before his first injury at the end of last season, I often thought he was the best player we have in the team.
“It’s similar with Alphonso Davies. It feels like we’ve signed two valuable new players. I’m very happy that they’re both back. They play an important role – especially in the system we play. They’re a perfect fit, with their ability in duels, the way they initiate attacks, and the runs they make. However, they shouldn’t put too much pressure on themselves and should first get back to top fitness. That will certainly take a few more weeks. But we’ll need them even more, especially from February onwards, as we head into crunch time.”
What do you think? In this star-studded cast, is Musiala really number one? And what about Davies — who has injected energy and electricity with every step he has taken in his token cameos so far?
Just how big of a step forward can this already-dominant Bayern team take in 2026?
