Kompany Says 'Magic Musiala' Nears Top Form Before Leverkusen Semi

Kompany says the 23-year-old is near peak fitness before a DFB-Pokal semi-final at Leverkusen.

Overview

  • Kompany told reporters that Jamal Musiala is close to his best and said the full 'Magic Musiala' will return 100 percent ahead of Wednesday's DFB-Pokal semi-final at Bayer Leverkusen.
  • Since his January return, Musiala has produced nine goals and assists in about 600 minutes across competitions, according to Kompany.
  • With Serge Gnabry out for several weeks because of an adductor injury, Bayern expect Musiala to take on more attacking load in next week's Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain.
  • Musiala missed much of the season after a fibula fracture and a broken, dislocated ankle suffered in a July collision with then-PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma at the Club World Cup.
  • Bayern have already secured the Bundesliga title and can reach their first German Cup final since 2020 with a win at Leverkusen.
