Musiala Opens Up on Injury Comeback: Bayern Star Targets 2025 Return
Bayern Munich’s midfield sensation Jamal Musiala has finally shared details of his ongoing recovery journey following the long-term injury that sidelined him earlier this year. The 22-year-old, who suffered a broken fibula during the FIFA Club World Cup, admitted the road back has been challenging but remains optimistic about a return to competitive football before the end of 2025.
In an exclusive interview with Sport Bild, Musiala revealed encouraging signs of progress. “My foot is fine and the healing process is going according to plan. I don’t need crutches anymore,” he said with a smile, before stressing the importance of patience. “I don’t want to rush things; I want to take as much time as I need.”
The injury, which came at a time when Musiala was cementing himself as one of Bayern’s most influential players, left both fans and the club stunned. Known for his dribbling flair, creativity, and composure beyond his years, his absence has been deeply felt in the Bundesliga champions’ midfield. Yet, Musiala admitted that the hardest part wasn’t physical but mental.
“Mentally, the first few weeks weren’t easy for me. But it won’t help if I’m constantly annoyed by the situation,” he explained. Instead of dwelling on frustration, the German international has decided to use his time wisely. “I want to focus on other things now and take the time to do the things I don’t normally have time for. Then the time will pass more quickly until I’m back on the pitch.”
- Musiala also highlighted the unpredictable nature of recovery from such injuries. “You never know what steps you’ll take at any given moment. Sometimes things are going great, and then I slow down for three days. I’m taking my time and I don’t want to set a date yet,” he said. However, he remained hopeful, adding: “Based on the progress I’ve made so far, I’d say that I’ll still be playing competitive matches with FC Bayern in 2025. When I return to the pitch, I want to be ready.”
The young star’s words will be music to the ears of Bayern supporters, who are eagerly waiting for his comeback. His absence has forced the club to rely on other midfield options, but none provide the same spark and unpredictability Musiala brings.
As 2025 unfolds, all eyes will be on his rehabilitation. For now, Musiala’s focus is on patience, discipline, and regaining full fitness. His return, whenever it comes, promises to be one of the most anticipated moments in Bayern’s season.
