Overview
- Nagelsmann, speaking Thursday on MagentaTV, said Musiala will be selected only if team doctors find no risk to his long-term career.
- Musiala broke his lower leg at the Club World Cup last summer, returned in January for Bayern, and skipped Germany’s March friendlies due to load symptoms.
- The 23-year-old has come on as a substitute for Bayern and set up the late 3-3 equalizer against Real Madrid with a back-heel in the Champions League.
- Oliver Kahn’s recent remarks fueled discussion before he said his words had been shortened, while Didi Hamann argued Musiala is not a World Cup lock and the player insists he wants to go.
- Nagelsmann said he has most of his squad in mind and indicated Musiala could be used as an impact option if his fitness and minutes stay limited.
