Bayern Munich have received a massive boost in their push for domestic and European glory as Jamal Musiala officially returned to training, marking a key milestone in his recovery from a devastating injury that sidelined him for more than three months. The 22-year-old German international, one of Europe’s most gifted young talents, suffered a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle during July’s FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain — an incident that halted his brilliant early-season form and sent shockwaves through the Bayern camp.
Now, after intense rehabilitation, the club has confirmed that Musiala is back on the grass at Säbener Straße. Smiling and brimming with confidence, the midfielder took part in light running and coordination sessions under the guidance of fitness coach Simon Martinello. The moment was captured in heartwarming fashion as Musiala jogged under the autumn sun, visibly delighted to be back where he belongs.
“It was great for me to be back on the pitch — it felt fantastic,” Musiala said after his first outdoor session. “And the most important thing: my foot felt good. I’m taking it step by step because when I return, I want to be at 100 percent.”
His recovery journey has been long and meticulous, with Bayern’s medical team closely managing every stage of his progress — from regaining mobility and muscle strength to gradually rebuilding speed and confidence. The young star emphasized patience over pressure, saying, “You can’t rush these things. It’s about being smart, not fast. I’ll come back when I’m truly ready.”
Musiala’s return comes at a crucial time for Thomas Tuchel’s side, who have faced a congested fixture list and several injuries to key players. His creativity, vision, and ball-carrying ability will add a fresh spark to Bayern’s midfield as the club gears up for decisive Bundesliga and Champions League clashes.
Adding to the feel-good story, Alphonso Davies — also recovering from a serious knee injury — joined Musiala on the pitch for part of the session, symbolizing Bayern’s growing sense of unity and resilience. “Phonzy supported me,” Musiala smiled. “We’ve been pushing each other through this. The team, the staff, and the fans have all been amazing.”
With Musiala back in motion, Bayern’s belief is back too — and the reigning champions once again look ready to unleash their full attacking brilliance.
