Overview
- Bayern confirmed Monday that Musiala underwent a minor, pre-planned surgical procedure after returning from Germany’s World Cup campaign.
- The club said the operation was routine follow-up care linked to last summer’s serious ankle and fibula injury and was not caused by a new World Cup injury.
- Reports indicate the procedure removed a metal plate placed during last year’s surgery, and it was timed to be done during the post‑tournament break.
- Bayern say the surgery allows Musiala to follow a structured rehabilitation and preseason programme intended to have him ready for the first competitive fixtures.
- Musiala still needs to regain full sharpness after the 2025 injury and a March tendon setback, so his minutes in preseason will shape his competition with other attackers for a starting role.
