Sports sick note
Pavard back in training, Musiala is out longer
Status: 24.08.2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes
Benjamin Pavard absolutely wants to leave Bayern Munich. In a game against a fan club, the defender stands out negatively. He then calls in sick, but reappears. Another star is out for weeks.
Thomas Tuchel will have to change his successful starting XI from the start of the Bundesliga on matchday two against FC Augsburg (Sunday, 5:30 p.m., DAZN) due to injury.
The FC Bayern coach will have to do without Jamal Musiala for a longer period of time. The national player will “take a break for the time being” with a torn muscle fiber in his left thigh, as the German soccer record champion announced. The 20-year-old offensive professional suffered the injury in training.
Musiala was part of the Munich starting line-up in Munich’s 4-0 win at Werder Bremen last Friday. Because of the injury, he will definitely miss the next two league games against Augsburg and away against Borussia Mönchengladbach six days later.
Thomas Müller could start for Musiala against Augsburg. The 33-year-old world champion had missed most of the pre-season due to injury, but was immediately an asset in Bremen after coming on.
Bayern reject offer for Inter’s Pavard
Defender Benjamin Pavard was also absent from training on Wednesday. The club stated that the Frenchman was absent due to illness. Pavard definitely wants to leave the record champions this summer. Inter Milan is considered the target of the 27-year-old, whose contract in Munich ends in a year. He doesn’t want to extend it and prefers to play in central defence.

According to media reports, Bayern have now agreed with Inter on a transfer fee of 30 million euros plus two to three million euros of possible additional payments. But they apparently only want to let Pavard go when they have found a suitable replacement. The transfer period ends on September 1st. If it was a strike, it was speculated that it was short-lived. Thursday Pavard trained again.
Meanwhile, Raphaël Guerreiro (free transfer from Borussia Dortmund) continues to work on his return after torn a muscle in his right calf.
