Jamal Musiala is back after a gruesome injury, and for Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany, that was never in doubt.
Musiala suffered a ghastly broken leg on the field at last summer’s Club World Cup. And while his return to the side is expected to be gradual, it is a triumph that he is on the training pitch at all so soon after the injury.
“I had complete confidence that he would recover. You always have to trust the lads, that it’s not a step backwards, but sometimes a step forwards,” Kompany
stated in comments captured by @iMiaSanMia. “I’m always there for the players, as are all of us – whether it’s Christoph Freund, Max Eberl or one of my assistants. That’s very important for us.
“As a player, I often got injured at the start of the season. You want to be back in contention for the trophies at the end. That’s a huge motivation for them, and we’re only just getting started. These players can make a difference.”
Of course, it’s hard to pick and choose the timing of an injury, but Bayern can try to make the most of what has happened so far.
