There is encouraging news surrounding Jamal Musiala as the Bayern Munich star has returned to full team training today.
Vincent Kompany confirmed the positive development during Thursday’s press conference, explaining that Musiala is responding well to the adjustments being made to his treatment following the neurological issues that caused him to collapse during two preseason matches.

Musiala has not played since the incidents against RB Leipzig and Heidenheim, with Bayern Munich taking a cautious approach to his return. His return to team training represents another important step forward as he works toward getting back on the pitch.
However, Bayern Munich will not rush the 23-year-old back into competitive action. Kompany confirmed that Musiala will not be included in Friday’s Bundesliga opener against VfB Stuttgart, meaning he will have to wait a little longer for his first appearance of the new campaign.
The most important thing is that Musiala is progressing well and feeling comfortable as he adapts to his updated treatment. Kompany also made it clear that Musiala will return to the squad when the medical team believes the time is right.
For Bayern Munich, having their star attacking midfielder back around his teammates is an extremely positive development. There is still no need to put a timetable on his return to matches, but today’s training session provides another reason for optimism.
