Jamal Musiala Returns to Individual Training as Nagelsmann Sets Eight-Week Fitness Window

The Bayern playmaker must be pain-free at 100 percent to earn World Cup selection.

Overview

  • Bayern said Musiala completed an individual session with the ball on the training pitch for the first time since his latest ankle flare-up.
  • Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann said selection depends on him reaching 100 percent without pain, with roughly eight weeks before a provisional squad is named in May.
  • A Kicker report said he is working up to eight hours a day and could rejoin team training next week if his recovery continues to hold.
  • Yahoo, citing local outlet Tz, reported club doctors have slowed an impatient push to hurry back because tendon injuries often heal more slowly than muscle strains.
  • Bayern have coped in his absence with options like Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl, which eases pressure to rush minutes even as he targets involvement against Real Madrid.
