Bayern fans finally got the kind of news that lifts an entire club’s mood: Jamal Musiala is moving closer to a long-awaited return. After months of recovery work, the 22-year-old completed a solo training session in Munich, signalling that his comeback is now very much in sight.
This was confirmed by the club via their official X account.
They posted:
Musiala picked up an injury, a nasty left-leg fracture paired with an ankle dislocation, during the Club World Cup quarterfinal against PSG. Softfootball understands that PSG defeated Bayern 2-0 in that quarterfinal clash.
The youngster had surgery immediately, and the early prognosis wasn’t exactly encouraging. Even so, late-November updates showed him doing light ball work and a couple of shooting drills, hinting that things were quietly heading in the right direction.
Before the incident, Musiala was shining again with 12 Bundesliga goals in the 2024/25 season, slicing through defences with the calm of someone twice his age.
Bayern, though missing him deeply, have somehow kept rolling under Vincent Kompany, still unbeaten in the league with 34 points.
They recently suffered their first defeat of the season in the Champions League clash against Arsenal, losing 3-1 to the English side, and before the defeat Bayern were a team refusing to slow down, and there’s no question they’ll look even scarier once Musiala is back dancing between lines.
There’s still debate about his exact return date. Sources close to Softffotball whisper December for full team training; others say January is more realistic. But this solo session definitely speeds things up, especially with Champions League nights piling up again.
For now, Musiala’s story is one of resilience. Step by step, literally, he’s fighting back. And Bayern fans, already dreaming about a big DFB-Pokal night or a fiery derby performance, can finally allow themselves a little hope again.
