Jamal Musiala is expected to miss three to four weeks after injuring his thigh during Germany’s warm-up Thursday. Bayern Munich have Serge Gnabry back from injury and summer signing Ismael Saibari impressing; Lennart Karl and Michael Olise could also cover his No. 10 role.
Bayern’s return game is against FC Augsburg on Oct. 10, with the international break set to continue for another week. The article says that timing means Musiala will not miss much club action. Kompany could move right winger Olise into the No. 10 role, freeing Karl to start on the right—a flexibility Bayern lacked at times last season.
Musiala’s broken leg at the 2025 Club World Cup kept him out for months and could still have lingering effects, the article says. It also notes muscular problems last season and into the summer.
