Overview
- Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann said Thursday on MagentaTV that Jamal Musiala will be selected for the World Cup only if team doctors find no risk to his long‑term career.
- Musiala sustained a complicated leg fracture at the Club World Cup last summer and spent several months out before returning for Bayern in January.
- He skipped Germany’s March warm-up wins against Switzerland and Ghana because of load symptoms that staff monitor to prevent re-injury.
- The Bayern playmaker has eased back as a substitute, including Wednesday’s 4-3 win over Real Madrid where his back‑heel set up the late 3-3 equalizer.
- Musiala says he does not want to withdraw from the tournament, after discussion grew from Oliver Kahn’s remarks that he later said were shortened.
