There have been some rumblings that Bayern Munich was looking to bring back Jamal Musiala in December or even later November if possible.
Given the severity of his injury and the long mental and physical
rehab process, that seemed very optimisitc.
Now, though, a more cautious approach could be in tow per head coach Vincent Kompany.
“We see Jamal every day, and his body language shows how excited he is about the next step, about being able to get back on the pitch. But it’s all about patience. We need Jamal, of course. The first steps are very positive. The plan was for him to come back in January. But with such serious injuries, things can always change,” Kompany said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Right now, Bayern Munich is rolling and playing extremely well. While Musiala would only bolster the current lineup, it would have to be a healthy and ready Musiala. Given how things are going, it might just make sense to hold him out until everything is 100% in order.
Why risk it with one of the best young players on the planet?
Bayern Munich traveled to Borussia Mönchengladbach for a Bundesliga tilt featuring the league first-place and last-place teams.
The game went as expected — especially after Gladbach picked up an early red card, which completely shifted the momentum into Bayern Munich’s favor.
It was a daunting task to ask Gladbach to hold strong for over 70 minutes and eventually Die Fohlen just broke down. Ultimately, Bayern Munich walked away with a 3-0 victory over Gladbach.
