Key Bayern Munich midfielder ready to play against Barcelona

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Bayern Munich’s midfielder Jamal Musiala is set to be available for their upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Barcelona. 

The German star has successfully recovered from a hip injury that kept him out of action for the last two matches. 

It must be noted that Musiala participated in full training with his teammates on Tuesday, indicating that he is fit and ready to play. This news comes as a major boost for Bayern Munich as they prepare for the highly anticipated fixture.

Ready to roll

Musiala’s hip issues had previously sidelined him, but his presence in training ahead of the match at Montjuic suggests that he could be part of the squad travelling to Barcelona.

His availability, barring any last-minute complications, seems certain. Whether or not he will start remains to be seen, as manager Vincent Kompany might decide to use him from the bench, depending on the match’s requirements. 

There’s also the possibility that Kompany could opt for the experienced Thomas Muller to take up the attacking midfield role behind the prolific Harry Kane.

Absentees from Bayern Munich

Despite Musiala’s return, Bayern Munich will be without several key players for the match against Barcelona. Aleksandar Pavlovic, Hiroki Ito, Josip Stanisic, and Sacha Boey, are all dealing with injuries, and missed training and will not be available for the trip to Spain. 

Their absence could impact the team’s setup, but Bayern still have enough depth in their squad to pose a significant challenge.

Following the recent training session, the Bayern Munich squad will head to Barcelona, where they will aim to put in a strong performance. 

The return of Musiala could be a critical factor in their pursuit of victory, as his creativity and flair will be essential against a formidable Barça side.
