Jamal Musiala

Musiala remains in the process of rebuilding his workload ahead of Thursday's Champions League clash against Glimt, according to coach Vincent Kompany. "Musiala has now played some minutes, but he is still in a build-up phase. He has felt good since returning to training with the team. We are as close to normality as possible, but we still need to be patient."

Analysis: Musiala has returned to regular involvement following his extended absence but is still short of his usual workload after limited playing time this season. Bayern will continue to manage the 23-year-old carefully despite his positive response to recent training and match minutes. His availability against Glimt is not in doubt, though Kompany's comments suggest his playing time could again be managed Thursday.

Makes bench Saturday

Musiala (head) is available on the bench Saturday against Schalke 04.

Analysis: Musiala is on the verge of making his Bundesliga debut this season after being involved in training throughout the week. Die Roten are rotating the side for this clash, but it wouldn't be surprising if Musiala sees time to get some much-needed minutes before the UCL opener against Bodo/Glimt next Thursday.
