Jamal Musiala updates recovery after ankle fracture and sets goal to return for Bayern in 2025
Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala confirmed on Wednesday (3) that he is making significant progress in his recovery from a serious ankle injury suffered during the Club World Cup in July. In an interview with Sport Bild, the 22-year-old midfielder revealed he has already abandoned crutches and is undergoing intensive rehabilitation, with the aim of returning to the pitch in 2025.
No fixed return date, but optimism grows
Despite the progress, Musiala stressed that doctors have not set an exact date for his return. The German international is focusing on following the medical plan step by step to avoid setbacks, but remains optimistic about playing again this season.
“The first few days after the injury were very tough mentally, but I’ve found strength in the recovery process,” Musiala said, highlighting the importance of patience and discipline in his rehabilitation.
Bayern and Germany monitor situation closely
Both Bayern Munich and the German national team are keeping a close eye on Musiala’s recovery. For the Bavarian club, his return is crucial in their pursuit of Bundesliga and Champions League success. For Germany, the midfielder is projected as a central figure in the 2026 World Cup cycle.
A message of resilience
Musiala’s words reassured fans and the press, underlining his maturity in dealing with the setback. He insisted that rushing back makes no sense, but promised he will be ready to contribute at the highest level when fully fit.
With a long-term contract and the status of one of Bayern’s most valuable assets, Musiala is seen not only as a technical leader but also as part of the new generation of German talent expected to shine on the world stage. His recovery is being carefully managed to ensure he returns at peak condition.
