Still not ready to return
Musiala (thigh) remains sidelined ahead of Wednesday's DFB-Pokal clash against Magdeburg, with his availability for Saturday's Bundesliga encounter against Dortmund also uncertain, according to assistant coach Aaron Danks. "For Manuel and Jamal, it's still a bit too early. The players received their treatments yesterday and we still need to speak with the doctors and then see who's available."
Analysis: Musiala continues to recover from a thigh muscle tear that has kept him out of Bayern Munich's last five matches across all competitions, with his return to competitive action still awaiting medical clearance. The attacking midfielder had previously resumed individual training, but his rehabilitation has not progressed sufficiently for him to rejoin the squad. Assistant coach Danks suggested that Wednesday's cup encounter against Magdeburg will likely come too soon, while further medical evaluations should help determine whether Musiala can return for Saturday's Bundesliga showdown against Dortmund. The German international had initially been targeting a comeback before the end of October, although Bayern appear unwilling to rush his recovery given the risk of aggravating the injury. Ismael Saibari, Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl should continue benefiting from additional opportunities in attacking positions until Musiala is cleared to return.
Eyes return later in October
Musiala (thigh) will miss Wednesday's Champions League clash against Arsenal and Sunday's Bundesliga fixture against Freiburg as he continues his recovery from a muscle tear, with a return before the end of October still possible, according to Sky Sport.
Analysis: Musiala remains sidelined after missing Bayern Munich's last three matches across all competitions, having continued his rehabilitation through individual training Monday without rejoining the squad. Bayern are taking a cautious approach to his recovery, ruling him out for the remainder of the week despite encouraging progress. The attacking midfielder could potentially return for next Wednesday's DFB-Pokal clash against Magdeburg or the subsequent Bundesliga meeting with Borussia Dortmund, although neither fixture has been confirmed as a return date. His continued absence could provide Ismael Saibari, Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl with additional opportunities in attacking positions.
