Jamal Musiala and FC Bayern are making a big statement with a small message. The competition is likely to watch closely.

Munich – Jamal Musiala is energetically pushing forward his return to the pitch and is already training at Säbener Straße, while his teammates from FC Bayern Munich are still planning their journey. As the club announced on its website, Musiala continued his individual development program on Friday (January 2), six months after his serious broken fibula.

Initially only stability and strengthening exercises were on the program in the performance center, but in the afternoon we went to the grass for a separate session. In this way, both the club and the player are sending a clear signal to the competition. In the case of Musiala to those in the team, in the case of FC Bayern to other clubs.

The rest of the Munich squad will only start their shortened winter preparation with performance tests on Saturday, followed by the first team training session together on Sunday. Musiala was able to complete part of the regular team training again in mid-December and now seems eager to get his regular place back.

A certain Lennart Karl used his absence to make a breakthrough at FC Bayern. And he succeeded so brilliantly that there was even speculation that Musiala would leave if he wasn’t able to assert himself immediately after his return. It should be clear to everyone that such claims should be treated with caution, especially since they were made in the context of time before the return.

But of course, since Karl’s breakthrough, the international competition is also likely to take a closer look at what is happening to Musiala, who is probably one of the best in his field even after the injury. And so the special message from the Munich team on the website is also a signal to other clubs: Look, we stand behind Musiala and won’t even consider letting him go. (sch)
